Earlier today in the House of Commons, Lucy asked the following question to the Secretary of State for Health, Jeremy Hunt:
Local Health Commissioners have concluded that Telford’s brand new Women and Children’s Centre serving some of the most deprived populations in the country should be closed and moved to a more affluent area where health is better than the national average.
The commissioning process has lost the confidence of local people, will the Secretary of State intervene and ensure local health commissioners fulfil their legal duty to reduce health inequalities.
