The Health Minister gave his reassurance that Medway Hospital will receive what it needs over the coming winter months.
Yesterday in Parliament (18 December 2014) Rehman quizzed Jeremy Hunt MP on the Government’s support for the Hospital.
Rehman asked the Minister:
"I thank the Secretary of State for the personal support he has given to Medway Maritime hospital, particularly the extra £5.5 million given to the hospital to improve its A and E services. Will he confirm that hospitals in special measures and in challenging circumstances will receive any additional resources they need over the coming winter months?"
The Secretary of State for Health told Parliament:
"We absolutely will make sure that we give Medway what it needs. I wish to thank my hon. Friend for his tireless campaigning to improve the situation, as it is very challenging there at the moment and he has taken a responsible attitude towards it.
"It is really important to praise the staff at the hospital, who are working very hard, and to reassure his constituents that although there are many improvement to be made, there is a lot of excellent care in that hospital and we all want to get there as quickly as we can."
