Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, with reference to the Westminster Hall Debate on 14 October 2026, if (a) she and (b) a Minister in her Department will meet with the hon. Member for Torbay to discuss fire safety issues at Torbay Hospital.

I regularly meet with Hon. Members representing the concerns of their constituents. I previously discussed fire safety concerns at Torbay Hospital when I met with the Hon. Member for Torbay on 9 September.

On 9 September, we also announced £1.5 billion over the next four years through the Estates Safety Fund to improve the safety and resilience of National Health Service buildings. Torbay and South Devon NHS Foundation Trust has been allocated £1.8 million for vital repairs at Torbay Hospital.

Should the Hon. Member wish to meet again and discuss further developments, I will ensure this is arranged in the usual way.
