Iain Wright – 2014 Parliamentary Question to the Department of Health

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Iain Wright on 2014-07-15.

To ask the Secretary of State for Health, how long the North Tees and Hartlepool NHS Foundation Trust’s submission on a new hospital at Wynyard has been considered by his Department.

Dr Daniel Poulter

The Department is currently considering the business case submitted by North Tees and Hartlepool NHS Foundation Trust in August 2013. It is not possible to give an indication of when a final decision on the case will be made. The proposals represent a very significant financial commitment and it is vital we ensure they are value for money and affordable to the Trust.
