To ask the Secretary of State for Health how many accident and emergency departments at hospitals in each primary care trust in Greater London have been re-graded since 1997. (179343)

[holding answer 15 January 2008]: The information requested is not held centrally. Any changes to the provision of emergency care facilities including accident and emergency (A&E) departments, are matters for the local national health service (NHS).

Information on the number of A&E at hospitals in London is therefore only available from individual NHS trusts.
