The Bishop of Sheffield received the following written answer on 22nd January 2026:
The Lord Bishop of Sheffield asked His Majesty’s Government:
- what consultations are underway with North Lincolnshire and Goole NHS Foundation Trust and local community members regarding the possible closure of Goole and District Hospital.
- what assessment they have made of the availability and accessibility of high-quality healthcare services at Goole and District Hospital.
Baroness Merron (Lab, DHSC): The planning and commissioning of local healthcare services is a matter for local integrated care boards (ICBs). The Humber and North Yorkshire NHS ICB has no plans to close the Goole and District Hospital. The ICB is committed to developing sustainable services for the future that meet the healthcare needs of people living in and around Goole.
