Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what plans he has to improve A&E provision in North Northamptonshire.
The provision of accident & emergency (A&E) services is a matter for the local National Health Service. We are aware of the proposals being developed locally for an Urgent Care Hub at Kettering General Hospital to address pressures faced by the Trust’s A&E service and are encouraged by the innovative thinking of the local commissioners and close working with local people and their representatives.
