Statement from Tom Abell, Deputy Chief Executive of Southend University Hospital NHS Foundation Trust said:
"Whilst we welcome and encourage new ideas and innovation, there
is no intention and there never has been for the hospital to
support this pilot at this time. We will never compromise the
safety and quality of care for patients and we will not support
this pilot until the necessary safeguarding and quality
arrangements are in place and there has been full engagement and
discussion with our local communities on the proposal, this will
happen after a period of detailed work and scoping that we have
requested."
