Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, with reference to paragraph 5.7 of the Spring Budget 2017, what estimate he has made of how much of the £100 million funding for capital investment in accident and emergency departments in 2017-18 will be allocated to (a) Leeds General Infirmary and (b) St James' Hospital, Leeds.
The Department will manage the approval of funding to accident and emergency (A&E) departments based on recommendations from NHS England and NHS Improvement, according to the merit of individual bids made and the impact they will have on managing A&E pressures.
