asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether they are satisfied that adequate arrangements have been made by Thanet Healthcare for pain management clinics to be operated in the absence of Dr. Michael Tai. [HL1641]

Baroness Hayman

Thanet Healthcare NHS Trust, with the aid of the Royal College of Anaesthetists, has obtained an experienced consultant locum who is working with it to provide pain management service in Thanet for two days a week. It is also receiving assistance from a consultant at South Kent Hospitals NHS Trust. The NHS Trust is currently pursuing plans to make appropriate long-term arrangements for patients.
