MP's concern as review delays transfer of health services

The MP for Exeter has expressed concern about the delaying of what he sees as a necessary improvement to local health services.


The NHS watchdog Monitor is looking into the decision by the local  Clinical Commissioning Group to transfer community healthcare services in the Exeter area to the RD&E Hospital Trust.

They're currently provided by the Northern Devon Healthcare Trust, which has complained about the change - provoking the review.

Ben Bradshaw says the change would benefit patients, as having the same Trust providing acute and community services would mean better co-ordination.
