Health: A&E

Baroness Tonge
asked Her Majesty's Government:

How many patients in the Greater London area have been turned away from accident and emergency departments by triage in the last 36 months. [HL1785]

The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State, Department of Health (Lord Darzi of Denham)
The information requested is not held centrally. While it is key that patients have access to timely, safe, high-quality care, decisions about the clinical care and treatment provided to individual patients are a matter for local clinicians.
