Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health, how many people have been suspended from the Derbyshire Mental Health Trust in the last two years; and for how long those suspensions were active.

The information requested is not available centrally. It may be obtained from Derbyshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust. We have written to Richard Gregory, Chair of the Trust, informing him of the hon. Member’s enquiry. He will reply shortly and a copy of the letter will be placed in the Library.
