Baroness Jeger

asked Her Majesty's Government:

What facilities exist for accident and emergency treatment within the City of London. [HL616]

The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State, Department of Health (Lord Hunt of Kings Heath)

There are no accident and emergency facilities located in the City of London. However, there is a minor injuries unit at St Bartholomew's Hospital in West Smithfield. This unit has close links with the accident and emergency department at the Royal London Hospital at Whitechapel.

Patients within the City of London requiring accident and emergency treatment can attend the Royal London Hospital, University College Hospital or St Thomas' Hospital, where full accident and emergency facilities are available within easy travelling distance.
