Business question from Nigel Evans (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 25 February 2010. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.


Business of the House

We already know what too many twitters make, don't we? Moving swiftly on, may we have a debate on the future of community hospitals? At the end of 2008, the East Lancashire Hospitals NHS Trust promised a new hospital for Clitheroe and, last May, found £15.5 million to spend on it. I am therefore baffled as to why it announced in November that the project was frozen because it did not have the money. Community hospitals are vital to this country, and Clitheroe deserves its hospital. Please may we have a debate on this issue?
