At Health Questions on Tuesday 27th November 2012 I questioned the Secretary of State for Health (Jeremy Hunt MP) on the future of Lewisham Hospital:
Dame Joan Ruddock (Lewisham, Deptford) (Lab): The trust special administrator’s report proposes the closure of the full A and E service at Lewisham hospital —which currently sees 115,000 people a year—and asserts that 30% of that department’s work can be transferred to the community. Will the Secretary of State provide evidence of how that can be done, especially considering a cash-strapped NHS and a local authority that is suffering from deep cuts by his Government?
See here for the full exchange.
Lewisham East MP Heidi Alexander also pressed Mr Hunt on the statutory guidance surrounding service reconfiguration.
