31 Mr. McWalter

To ask the Secretary of State for Health what steps he is taking to ensure that financial considerations do not impede the restoration of maternity and paediatric services to Hemel Hempstead General Hospital. [75382]

Mr. Lammy

Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire strategic health authority has agreed with St. Albans Primary Care Trust and Dacorum Primary Care Trust that it will find the necessary funds during this financial year to establish and support the most appropriate model of care at Hemel Hempstead General Hospital. Further discussions are in progress about funding for next year.
