Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask Her Majesty's Government what discussions they have had with Cheltenham General Hospital about reinstating a full doctor-led 24/7 service at its Accident and Emergency department; and if there are plans to reinstate that service, what is the timetable for doing so.
This question was answered on 15th July 2022
There have been no specific discussions. Cheltenham General Hospital operates a consultant-led accident and emergency service between 8am and 8pm and a specialist nurse-led service between 8pm and 8am. This has been in place since 2013, following a public consultation and examination by the local Health Oversight Scrutiny Committee.
