Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, pursuant to the Answer of 20 January to Question 2446 on Urgent Treatment Centres, what steps his Department is taking to ensure that Bradford gets an Urgent Treatment Centre.
Urgent treatment centres (UTCs) are commissioned by clinical commissioning groups (CCGs) as they best know the needs of their local population.
The local accident and emergency (A&E) delivery board have been considering options for the future, including the development of a UTC, but will evaluate them all fully before reaching a conclusion.
