I have written once again to the Health Secretary, requesting his urgent intervention in the imminent closure of the Urgent Care Centre at Mount Vernon Hospital.
This is following a conversation I had with Wes Streeting about the 10-Year Plan for the NHS and how closing the facility is in direct conflict with those objectives.
I have asked for an urgent reconsideration of the business case, and I look forward to a timely response from the Department of Health and Social Care. You can read my letter to Wes Streeting below.
