Chris Grayling: To ask the Secretary of State for Health if he will make a statement on the pilot project in Warwickshire to treat
patients with infectious diseases in their own homes. [96513]
Mr. Lammy: The proposed pilot project in Warwickshire, led by the South Warwickshire General Hospitals National Health Service
Trust, would treat selected patients who have presented at the hospital with infections of the skin, wound or bone. The service is
for patients who would be in hospital only to receive intravenous antibiotic therapy. The hospital's clinical teams would still
carefully manage the patients. Patients with highly contagious infections who require isolation in hospital will continue to be
treated as inpatients.
This project is patient-centred and offers a choice to both patients and carers. The patient would have a reduced risk of
hospital-acquired infection and conversely existing patients would not be exposed to the infection.
