Answer
The Northern HSC Trust held a public consultation on proposals to reconfigure general surgery services between 23 August and 29 November 2024.
The Trust is currently preparing a consultation outcomes report which will be submitted to the Department of Health in due course, and will consider all likely impacts of proposals.
I will consider any recommendation made by the NHSCT at this time.
