Proceeding contribution from Lord Marlesford (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Monday, 30 November 2009. It occurred during Ministerial statement on NHS: Basildon and Colchester Hospital Trusts.
NHS: Basildon and Colchester Hospital Trusts
My Lords, the Minister has on a number of occasions used the phrase "patient safety" in the context of this Statement and the questions on it. Is she aware of the considerable concern, indeed alarm, in Suffolk, where I live, at reports that the emergency coronary facilities in Ipswich Hospital will be closed and that patients who have heart attacks will be transported either to Colchester, which is not flavour of the month, or to Addenbrooke’s or Papworth in Cambridge, which would be a very long journey? This is a very serious issue for people in Suffolk. If the Minister is not briefed on the subject, I should be grateful if she would urgently write to me.
