Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether his Department has made an assessment of the potential impact of constituency boundary changes on the availability of (a) discharge to assess and (b) respite care beds in South Cotswolds constituency; and what steps he is taking to ensure local provision of those beds.

Hospital discharge and respite care planning and provision are the responsibility of local authorities and local National Health Service bodies, including integrated care boards, trusts and foundation trusts. The geographical footprint of these bodies is not affected by constituency boundary changes.
