Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what is the status of proposals to close acute hospitals at (1) one in five sites in South West London, and (2) one in three sites in Leicestershire.

Any decision regarding service changes is a matter for NHS England and the National Health Service locally.

NHS England advises that the South West London Sustainability and Transformation Plan does not propose the closure of any hospital within its footprint.

In respect of the Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland Sustainability and Transformation Plan, the document considers a range of options for local services, and where specific proposals are agreed by the local NHS, they will be subject to formal public consultation.
