The Conservative MP for Redditch, Karen Lumley, led a Westminster Hall debate on 12 February 2013 on the future of the Alexandra Hospital in Redditch.

Talks are under way about a possible takeover of some services at the hospital in Redditch.

Commissioners who will be responsible for the hospital from April said they have talked to three Birmingham trusts.

The new Redditch and Bromsgrove Clinical Commissioning Group (RBCCG) say they are determined the Alexandra will remain "a thriving local hospital".

But campaigners fear the cuts to services at the hospital could include the closure of the accident and emergency department.
