Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health, when the Minister for Public Health plans to meet the hon. Members for Tottenham, Enfield Southgate, Hornsey and Wood Green, Enfield North and Edmonton to discuss a new mental health hospital at St Ann's.

Barnet, Enfield and Haringey Mental Health NHS Trust has received approval from NHS Improvement of its Strategic Outline Case for the redevelopment of St Ann’s Hospital.

The Trust is now working on developing its Outline Business Case.

I am agreeable to a meeting to discuss the issue of the redevelopment of St Ann’s Hospital. It may be more useful to have a meeting later in the process of the redevelopment when more information is available.

The hon. Member is encouraged to continue to engage with the local National Health Service and NHS Improvement directly on this matter as this is the best avenue to address local concerns.
