Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what plans his Department has for the future of Feilding Palmer Hospital in Lutterworth.
The local clinical commissioning groups have made no decisions with regard to any community hospitals in Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland. They are now considering changing services to help more people be cared for at home and in local communities.
Patients, carers, staff and stakeholders will continue to be involved in the redesign process through a variety of engagement activities. If any of the proposals being developed require a public consultation, then this will be undertaken with local communities including in Lutterworth.
