Department of Health written question – answered at on 20 February 2015.
To ask Her Majesty’s Government what assessment they have made of the recent closing of the acute dermatological services at Nottingham University Hospital Trust and the impact it has had on the dermatology services to in-patients with acute medical and surgical conditions and on training capacity in the East Midlands.
The provision of services, including dermatology services, is a matter for the local National Health Service.
We are advised by the NHS Trust Development Authority that Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust has worked with commissioners to ensure a satisfactory service is available to local people from alternative providers and the Trust will continue to provide an out of hours service for its inpatients and those patients requiring emergency treatment.
Rushcliffe Clinical Commissioning Group has commissioned a review to assess what is needed to meet the needs of the population in the future.
This Government established Health Education England to co-ordinate education and training activity across the NHS, including the management of training programmes for junior doctors. Health Education England and the Local Education and Training Board in the East Midlands are best placed to work with local employers in Nottingham to understand and manage the impact of changes.
