MULHOLLAND CALLS UPON GOVERNMENT TO EXPLAIN LEEDS HOSPITAL DECISION

March 19, 2007 12:00 AM

Leeds MP, Greg Mulholland, has written an urgent letter to the Health Secretary Patricia Hewitt today, calling upon her to explain why plans for a new Children and Maternity Hospital in Leeds have now been shelved, despite former health secretary John Reid giving the go ahead for the Hospital in 2004.

Commenting Mr Mulholland said:

"The go ahead for the new Hospital was finally granted after a long and hard fought campaign to improve services in Leeds.

"For the Government to now shelve these plans, perhaps forever, is a real slap in the face local people, and will surely seriously undermine public confidence in the way the health service is being run in Leeds."

"I have written an urgent letter to the Health Secretary to call upon her to explain this decision, and why the Government thinks that it can ignore the promises it has made to the people of Leeds."

    If you are a resident of the Leeds North West constituency and are writing to discuss any issue that Parliament or government is responsible for, you must provide your home address as MPs are generally only permitted to act on behalf of constituents.

    If you are not a constituent, you do not need to provide your address, but the matters we can deal with are more limited and you may wish to contact your local MP in the first instance.
