Accident and Emergency Departments
- Question
- To ask the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster how many of the primary care trusts visited by the Prime Minister’s delivery unit have accident and emergency departments earmarked for closure.
- Answer
-
Reconfiguration of NHS services, including (accident and emergency) A and E units, is a local decision to be made by Chief Executives of local NHS organisations, as they are best placed to consider the needs of their local NHS patients. PMDU has not discussed possible A and E closure decisions on its visits to PCTs and is not part of this decision-making process.
