Fiona has since the election regularly raised with the coalition government her concerns about the way in which Heatherwood and Wexham Park Hospital acquired Foundation Trust status. She secured a letter from Andrew Lansley about Wexham Park Hospital only after she raised this delay in the House of Commons on 3 June:

Fiona Mactaggart (Slough) (Lab): Will the Leader of the House assist me in getting a response from the Department of Health on a matter that I first raised in February, prompted by consultants at Wexham Park hospital in my constituency? They feared that the hospital had fiddled the books to acquire foundation status. I got replies from the former Secretary of State for Health every month, telling me that the Department was still looking at the question. I have been in direct touch with the current Secretary of State's office but have still heard nothing. Will the Leader of the House ask the Secretary of State to reply to me on this important issue?

Sir George Young: Yes. (The Hansard report, col. 587, 3 June 2010)
