Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust
- Question
-
To ask Her Majesty’s Government why the acute adult dermatology service at Nottingham University Hospital is to be closed; and whether they have assessed the effect that that decision will have upon patients in the area affected by skin diseases.
- Answer
-
The provision of services, including dermatology services, is a matter for the local National Health Service.
The NHS Trust Development Authority advises that since 2 February 2015 Nottingham University Hospital NHS Trust has not been able to provide a comprehensive adult dermatology service. It no longer has sufficient consultant dermatologist capacity to sustain such a service.
The Trust has worked with commissioners to ensure a satisfactory service is available to local people from alternative providers.
Rushcliffe Clinical Commissioning Group has commissioned a review to assess what is needed to meet the needs of the population in the future.
