Business question from Stephen Hammond (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 8 December 2005. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.


Business of the House

Earlier this year the south-west London health authority concluded its consultation, ““Better Healthcare Closer to Home””. It concluded that Merton and Sutton needed six local care centres and one acute hospital. However, there was some disagreement about that and the hon. Member for Mitcham and Morden (Siobhain McDonagh) objected and referred the consultation to the Secretary of State for Health. She did so in late June. The subsequent delay is harming my constituents’ prospects of getting better health care at the Nelson hospital. Will the Leader of the House ask the Secretary of State to make a statement on the delay, give reasons for it and give a date when we might receive the result of her deliberations and the rationale behind them?
