NHS Trusts: City of Sanctuary UK

Asked by Joe RobertsonConservativeDepartment of Health and Social CareTabled Answered 24 November 2025UIN 90801

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if he will take steps to issue guidance to NHS Trusts to discourage them from supporting City of Sanctuary.

Answered by Karin Smyth

There are no plans to issue guidance on this matter. National Health Service organisations are required to use their resources in the interests of patients and to secure value for money for taxpayers.
