Written question asked by Tristan Osborne (Labour) on Tuesday, 15 October 2024, in the House of Commons. It was due for an answer on Thursday, 17 October 2024. It was answered by Karin Smyth (Labour) on Tuesday, 22 October 2024 on behalf of the Department of Health and Social Care.


Health Services: Medway

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what his Department's timetable is for making a decision on the development Medway Maritime Trust elective care centre in Chatham.

Answer

Presently, there is no Medway elective treatment business case going through assurance with the Department. NHS England has delegated authority for business cases costed at under £25 million, in which case the Department is not the decision maker. This aligns with our approach that local health infrastructure needs are determined by local health system planners, in collaboration with NHS England.
