Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health, if he will take steps to ensure that the Success Regime review at North Devon District Hospital does not lead to a reduction in services provided at that hospital.

This question was answered on 10th May 2016
The Success Regime aims to improve the quality and sustainability of health and care services for local people.

North, East and West Devon’s 'Case for Change' sets out the underlying challenges and opportunities. Change will be led by clinicians, in the best interests of communities. No specific proposals have been identified and the programme welcomes input from the people of North Devon. Hospital-based services will continue to be important across Devon, including in the North of the county.
