A Very Important Letter

The following is a copy of the letter from Yvette Cooper, Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Health at the time of the merger between Sandwell Healthcare Trust and City Hospital NHS Trust, to Richard Steer who was Chairman of City Hospital NHS Trust at the time. It sets out conditions of the merger and I think it is quite clear in respect to the current interim reconfiguration plans for Sandwell & West Birmingham Hospitals NHS Trust - in particular

"A key feature of the merger proposals... is that the two hospitals... will continue to provide the full range of clinical services to support local Accident and Emergency Services."
