No discussions between Ministers and Alder Hey Children’s NHS Foundation Trust regarding Liverpool Community Health have taken place.

The process for the future provision of Liverpool Community Health services has not yet been determined. Discussions will commence on the process to be adopted with the relevant parties shortly. There is currently no agreement to a splitting of adult and children's services although this has been proposed as a potential option.
