The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps his Department is taking to improve accident and emergency services at Torbay Hospital.
Answered by Karin Smyth
The Government has committed to supporting the National Health Service to improve performance across the country, including in Torbay. This includes returning to the standard set out in the NHS Constitution, that 95% of patients attending accident and emergency departments are admitted, transferred, or discharged within four hours.
Torbay hospital is part of the New Hospital Programme, with plans including delivery of a new emergency department at the hospital.
