Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what recent assessment he has made of the adequacy of standards of care for older patients in acute hospital settings in Surrey Heath constituency.

Older patients who require acute care in the Surrey Health constituency are well served by their local hospital at Frimley Park, which is part of Frimley Health NHS Foundation Trust. The hospital was recently inspected by the Care Quality Commission (CQC), which awarded its medical care, including older people’s care, an outstanding rating. Further details of the CQC’s inspection report can be accessed at the following link:
