Tom Brake MP asks the P.M. about St Helier Hospital’s Future ….

Dear Hamish Pollock

I am writing to you with some interesting news as you have previously expressed concern about the future of St Helier Hospital.

Last week, during Prime Minister’s Questions, I directly challenged the Chancellor, George Osborne (who was standing in for the Prime Minister), on whether the previously promised £219million was still available for St. Helier Hospital.

I am delighted that the Chancellor George Osborne promised that the Government would allocate £219 million to save St. Helier Hospital as long as the hospital “continues to represent value for money.” He said he thinks the hospital is performing well now.  I am very pleased that he recognises the good performance of the hospital.

I intend to hold the Chancellor to his promise. Our community deserves convenient access to essential healthcare services from a quality hospital like St. Helier. George Osborne and the Conservative government must now deliver it.

Regards

Tom Brake
