PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Mental Health Services and Social Services: Greater Manchester (11 April 2016)

Question Asked

To ask the Secretary of State for Health, whether NHS England has provided additional funds to cover redundancy costs associated with Manchester Mental Health and Social Care Trust service closures.

Asked by:
Mike Kane (Labour)

Answer

We are advised that NHS England has placed no such requirements. These are matters for the Manchester Mental Health and Social Care NHS Trust and its commissioners.

We expect all National Health Service trusts to use their resources wisely and within their statutory responsibilities, while delivering high quality, sustainable services to patients. It is for the local NHS to determine the provision of local health services.
