QUEEN ELIZABETH HOSPITAL GATESHEAD

Early day motion 1906, tabled 27 March 2006 by Sharon Hodgson (Labour). Signed by 24 members.

That this House congratulates the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Gateshead on being judged the third best hospital in the country in Saga's recent study of UK hospitals; notes that this was assessed on standards of quality of care, patient experience, staff numbers, infection control, handling of MRSA and waiting times; further notes that such national recognition is long-deserved for a hospital widely recognised in the North East as a standard-setter; and wishes it future success in further improving the health of the people of Gateshead and Washington.

Signatures by party: Labour 17, Conservative 2, DUP 2, Liberal Democrat 2, Social Democratic and Labour Party 1.
