Chorley and South Ribble Hospital: Accident and Emergency Departments
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps his Department is taking to help support the 24-hour opening of the accident and emergency department at Chorley and South Ribble Hospital.
Answered by James Murray
I know how important access to emergency services is to local people in Chorley and South Ribble. Decisions on local emergency department configuration are for the NHS locally, and I welcome the fact that Lancashire Teaching Hospitals and the ICB are developing plans following a feasibility study into a potential 24-hour service. I can assure my hon. friend we will be keeping a close eye on how those plans progress.
