Health Services: Leyton

Volume 492: debated on Thursday 14 May 2009

To ask the Secretary of State for Health how much funding has been provided for (a) Whipps Cross Hospital, (b) primary care services and (c) other health services in Leyton and Wanstead constituency in each of the last five years; what infrastructural changes have been made to health care facilities in the constituency; and if he will make a statement. (273338)

The information requested is not available by constituency. Hospital and community health services, such as Whipps Cross University Hospital NHS Trust, receive funding from primary care trusts (PCTs) largely through payment by results tariffs, primary care, the cost of drugs prescribed in primary care, and other services, such as public health, for their populations. The details are published in the trust's annual accounts, available from the trust itself.
