Today, Theo Clarke MP had her first opportunity to ask a question at Prime Minister’s Questions. Following her question about County Hospital, the Rt Hon Boris Johnson, the Prime Minster, and the Rt Hon Matt Hancock MP, the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, confirm that County Hospital’s A&E is staying open.
Theo Clarke MP’s Question:
“Having knocked on doors across Stafford in my constituency, it is clear that the A&E at County Hospital is a vital local service, so does the Prime Minister agree with me that A&E units at medium-sized hospitals such as County are essential for the future delivery of care in our NHS?”
The Prime Minister’s response:
“My right hon. Friend the Health Secretary has just told me - that, yes, my hon. Friend’s A&E is certainly staying open, and I thank her for the point that she makes.”
