The Department does not routinely hold records of all proposed service changes.

The provision of services is a matter for local National Health Service organisations, overseen by independent regulators, which must work together ensure that services are safe and meet patient needs. It is right that these matters are addressed at this level where the local healthcare needs are best understood.
