What support will be available to hospitals over the winter? Norfolk and Norwich University hospital declared a black alert last week.
Ben Gummer

Specific support has already been provided for Norfolk and Norwich University hospital, and support will be provided consistently throughout the winter to enable us to deal with the additional challenges that are, I am afraid, being thrown in the way of hospitals throughout the country by the junior doctors and their industrial action.
