Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, if she will take steps to enable a) old MRI machines and b) other NHS medical equipment no longer in use to be sent to Ghana.

NHS medical equipment is owned and managed by individual NHS trusts and organisations, which are responsible for decisions on reuse, disposal or donation under their own governance, safety and regulatory arrangements. Where equipment is donated overseas, this is typically undertaken on a small‑scale basis through direct institutional relationships rather than government‑led schemes.
