HC Deb 12 March 1998 vol 308 c351W
Mr. John M. Taylor

To ask the Secretary of State for Health what recent change there has been in the arrangements for the provision of accident and emergency services at Solihull Hospital. [33461]

Mr. Milburn

Following a meeting on 18 February, the Royal College of Surgeons decided to withdraw accreditation for the training of junior doctors at Solihull Hospital's Accident and Emergency Department, with effect from the end of July 1998. The Birmingham Heartlands and Solihull National Health Service Trust plans to replace the doctors in training with fully qualified doctors to enable the service to continue as before.
