Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether she has made an assessment of the implications for her policies of the proposed merger between Barts Health and Barking, Havering and Redbridge University Hospitals NHS Trusts.
Answered by Andrew Stephenson - Minister of State (Department of Health and Social Care)
National Health Service trusts or foundation trusts undertaking a merger go through appropriate due process, which includes assurance from NHS England that the transaction provides material improvements in performance and real patient benefits before Secretary of State approval.
We are not aware of any proposed merger between Barts Health and Barking, Havering and Redbridge University Hospitals NHS Trust. In 2021, the two trusts began to engage local stakeholders about developing deeper collaboration. They are now working closely together as part of an acute provider collaborative within the integrated care system of NHS NorthEast London. The trusts remain separate statutory bodies accountable to NHS England and regulated by the Care Quality Commission.
