Written Question
Health Services: Medway
Tuesday 22nd October 2024

Asked by: Tristan Osborne (Labour - Chatham and Aylesford)

Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what his Department's timetable is for making a decision on the development Medway Maritime Trust elective care centre in Chatham.

Answered by Karin Smyth - Minister of State (Department of Health and Social Care)

Presently, there is no Medway elective treatment business case going through assurance with the Department. NHS England has delegated authority for business cases costed at under £25 million, in which case the Department is not the decision maker. This aligns with our approach that local health infrastructure needs are determined by local health system planners, in collaboration with NHS England.
