To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what additional funding has been allocated to (a) Chase Farm Hospital, (b) North Middlesex Hospital and (c) Enfield Public Health to deal with the covid-19 outbreak.
The Government has taken unprecedented actions to deal with the costs of the COVID-19 outbreak. The Chancellor of the Exchequer announced on 11 March a £5 billion “emergency response fund” for the National Health Service and other public services.
NHS England and NHS Improvement will be responsible for ensuring this money gets to the frontline providers that need it.

The most recent Care Quality Commission inspection, published in October 2019, gave an overall rating of requires improvement to the North Middlesex University Hospital NHS Trust.
To assist with improving performance, the Trust has been allocated additional winter monies. This has provided more capacity to meet the anticipated increase in the numbers of emergency patients.
Broader responses, in areas such as community and social care, are being coordinated through the local accident and emergency (A&E) Delivery Board and include the provision of additional primary care capacity in Enfield and a two-hour rapid response service.
Ambulance turnaround and response times are being addressed through the transfer of low priority calls to 111 clinical assessment service, freeing up London Ambulance Service and reducing the number of unnecessary admissions to A&E. Additionally, the introduction of mental health professionalâs working with paramedics in ambulance cars is helping to reduce transports to local emergency departments, and thereby assisting in reducing demand on services.

An Improvement Director and peer support is also being arranged.
In addition, North Middlesex University Hospital NHS Trust will be given a bespoke action plan from NHS Improvement, with the expectation that during winter the Trust will deliver month on month improvements on the percentage of patients seen within the four hour accident and emergency access target.

One report that perhaps will not get so much attention is the Care Quality Commission’s report into North Middlesex University hospital, which confirms that the emergency
care there is inadequate. Why has it taken so many years and why does it need regulators to tell us what many of my constituents know: for too long, there has been inadequate care and too few doctors and consultants? Will the Prime Minister assure me that we now have in place the right plans and the right numbers of doctors and consultants to ensure that my constituents get the care that they deserve?

My hon. Friend raises an important point, which is that the CQC is now acting effectively at getting into hospitals, finding bad practice and reporting on it swiftly. In some cases, that bad practice has always been there, but we have not been as effective as we should have been at shining a light on it. North Middlesex University hospital has one of the busiest emergency departments in the country. Its practice was unacceptable. We now have a new clinical director at the trust, additional senior doctors in place at A&E and a change in governance. Under this Government, we set up the role of the chief inspector of hospitals, to have a zero-tolerance approach to such practice and to ensure that things are put right.

Patient safety remains a key priority for the Government and whilst progress has been made there is clearly much more to be done. The Department is aware of the situation at North Middlesex University Hospital NHS Trust and the relevant regulatory bodies, led by NHS Improvement, are taking appropriate action.
The Warning Notice, issued to North Middlesex University Hospital NHS Trust by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) on 6 June 2016 requires the trust to significantly improve the treatment of patients attending the emergency department (ED).
NHS Improvement has given assurance that North Middlesex University Hospital carried out immediate actions to support the staffing concerns raised by the regulators.
A new Clinical Director and an experienced Medical Director have been appointed to provide the ED with dedicated substantive leadership. The Clinical Director will provide leadership to the department and oversee the recruitment to currently vacant posts. In addition, there is also focus on reducing the medical work load in the ED through added support from other clinical services and professionals. This includes the appointment of new matrons and a new dedicated service manager with extensive ED experience.
Further, local general practitioners are increasing the level of support they provide to the department both to prevent admissions and to improve discharges. All of these measures will be in place by the end of June 2016.
On staffing, the local National Health Service is working with the Trust to ensure it can provide emergency care to the required standards. NHS Improvement and NHS England have put in place enhanced oversight mechanisms to assure themselves that services remain safe at all times.
An external specialist review of the consultant and middle grade rotas for June, July, August and September has been commissioned to provide independent assurance of the appropriate competencies within each rota.
NHS Improvement will continue to work with system colleagues, Health Education England and the General Medical Council to assure themselves that the improvements being put in place meet the requirements that they need to see from both the Trust and the system both in the short term and the long term.
