Primary Care Trusts and NHS Reconfigurations

Volume 470: debated on Tuesday 22 January 2008

To ask the Secretary of State for Health (1) whether he has asked primary care trusts to inform him of consultations and formal reviews which they hold into the future provision of services; (177201)

(2) if he will place in the Library reconfiguration returns from the NHS from the last 12 months.

Proposals for the reconfiguration of services are a matter for the national health service locally, working in conjunction with clinicians, patients and other stakeholders.

Primary care trusts do not inform the Secretary of State of the outcomes of consultations and formal reviews which they have held into the future provision of services. Consequently, no returns relating to local consultations have been placed in the Library.
