Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
If he will establish an integrated health and social care pilot programme in Northamptonshire.
Last week, in a Westminster Hall debate called by my Hon. Friend, I announced the approval of £46 million for the Urgent Care scheme at Kettering General Hospital, to be awarded at the next capital review.
Officials have been supporting Northamptonshire to develop their proposals on health and social care integration. The Secretary of State is looking forward to considering the updated proposals from Northamptonshire in due course.
