This question was answered on 21st July 2017
Decisions about the configuration of National Health Service services are made locally, following public consultation. If proposals are contested, then they may be referred to the Secretary of State for review. The Department cannot therefore comment on proposals, whether actual or hypothetical, outside of that process.
