Oral question asked in the House of Lords, by Lord Elystan-Morgan (Crossbench). It was answered on Tuesday, 1 November 2011.
Health: Funding
- Question
- My Lords, does the Minister accept that there is one very specific matter in relation to transborder matters in Wales, and that is in relation to Powys? Despite strategic policy decisions of many years ago, Powys has never had a district general hospital, with the result that there is a very considerable flow from north-east Powys to hospitals in the Shrewsbury and Telford area. Will he give an undertaking that, whatever happens, that system will continue?
- Answer
-
My Lords, nothing in the Government’s plans will impede the flow of Welsh patients into England. I can give the noble Lord that reassurance.
