Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what discussions he has had with Cheshire and Wirral Partnership NHS Foundation Trust on tackling covid-19.

The Government is doing everything it can to tackle the pandemic and mitigate its impact. The Department is supporting the National Health Service so that it can help those who need it the most.

The Chancellor has also set out a package of targeted measures which include a £5 billion emergency response fund to support the NHS and other public services. He has since reiterated that whatever resources the NHS needs, it will get.

The NHS works very closely with NHS foundation trusts across England to enact these measures.
