Context
North Norfolk constituency is rural with a high average age and distant from major hospitals like the Norfolk and Norwich hospital.
Question
What steps is his Department taking to improve health facilities at Cromer Hospital? North Norfolk has an aging population, making it difficult for residents to access healthcare services in nearby urban areas. Duncan Baker seeks to establish an enhanced urgent treatment centre with mental health facilities to ease pressure on the Norfolk and Norwich hospital.
Answer from Edward Argar (The Parliamentary Under Secretary of State for Patient Safety)
My hon. Friend is right to highlight that his constituency has the highest average age in this country. As an assiduous reader of the Eastern Daily Press I recently saw the story outlining the trust's plans for a UTC. I look forward to seeing those proposals develop further. The key to delivering them, or their making progress, will be partnership. I look forward to the hospital trust, my hon. Friend and the CCG working in partnership to deliver an outcome.
