To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how many times have neonatal units in the North East London Health & Care Partnership reached capacity since 1 May 2022.

Answer

Karin Smyth
The Department does not hold this data centrally. NHS England is investing £45 million to increase neonatal cot capacity. This investment has started to improve cot capacity in London, and will continue to do so by March 2025.
