Mr Tom Morrison (Cheadle) (LD)
Stepping Hill hospital sits in my constituency. It is one of the busiest hospitals in the region, with over 91,000 patient admissions each year. It serves Stockport, parts of Greater Manchester and parts of Derbyshire. I have raised the issues faced by the staff and patients there many times in the House and been told repeatedly that the Government are working with Stockport NHS foundation trust and the integrated care board to solve them, but time and again we are let down by the lack of real action.
On Friday I visited the hospital with my hon. Friend the Member for Hazel Grove (Lisa Smart), and we met senior teams, clinicians, nurses and operational staff.

On the point about nurses at Stepping Hill hospital, as the hon. Member for Hazel Grove (Lisa Smart) knows, my mother did her nurse training at Stepping Hill back in the 1970s. Since it is my mother’s birthday tomorrow, will the hon. Gentleman join me in wishing my mum a very happy birthday and acknowledging the hard work and commitment of the nurses at Stepping Hill hospital?
Madam Deputy Speaker (Ms Nusrat Ghani)
Mr Jogee, I am sure we would all like to wish your mother a happy birthday, but we are discussing the future of Stepping Hill hospital.
