HC Deb 06 March 2003 vol 400 c1206W
Mr. Paul Marsden

To ask the Secretary of State for Health if he will make a statement on the reasons for the Board of the Royal Shrewsbury Hospital not approving a new diabetes centre. [100084]

Mr. Lammy

I understand that this matter, which is properly a matter for the Board of the Royal Shrewsbury Hospital National Health Service Trust, will be considered again at its next public meeting on 25 March 2003. Departmental officials have, however, brought this matter to the attention of the Shropshire and Staffordshire Strategic Health Authority, which will consider whether any further action should be taken after the Trust has deliberated.
