A MILITARY healthcare worker who is being treated for Ebola is from a unit based in North Yorkshire, it has been confirmed.

York Central MP Sir Hugh Bayley, tonight expressed has expressed his concern for the welfare of the infected worker from Headquarters 2nd Medical Brigade at Queen Elizabeth Barracks, Strensall, near York.

The infected worker arrived in London on Thursday after being flown back by military plane with two other workers who are also being monitored.

Two military healthcare workers who are being assessed in Sierra Leone after coming into contact with their infected colleague will fly into the North-East tomorrow, Public Health England (PHE) has said.

A PHE spokeswoman said the remaining individuals, who have not been diagnosed with Ebola, are due to arrive back in the UK tomorrow on separate EU Medevac flights to Newcastle, and they will then be taken to the city's Royal Victoria Infirmary.

The infected worker was transported by ambulance to the Royal Free Hospital (RFH) in Hampstead, north west London, where she will be treated in its special high-level isolation unit.

She and her two colleagues were brought back to the UK in a Boeing C-17 sent to collect them on Wednesday night. It landed at RAF Northolt in west London just before 2pm.

The PHE spokeswoman said: "PHE can confirm that arrangements are being made to transport to the UK the two other military healthcare workers identified as close contacts of the MoD healthcare worker recently returned to the UK following diagnosis of Ebola, for precautionary assessment and monitoring.

"The individuals, who have not been diagnosed with Ebola, are due to arrive back in the UK on Friday, March 13, on separate EU Medevac flights to Newcastle, where they will be taken to the Royal Victoria Infirmary.

"As with previous Medevac cases, they will be initially assessed in hospital and a decision will be made whether they need to be admitted or discharged to appropriate accommodation where they will be monitored for any symptoms for the remainder of their incubation period."

Sir Hugh said: “I hope that the healthcare worker who has been confirmed with Ebola will make a full recovery, and that her four colleagues will not contract the disease. “I cannot praise highly enough the work that the 2nd Medical Brigade are doing in Sierra Leone, and by eradicating this devastating disease in Africa they are preventing it from spreading to other parts of the world and protecting people here in the UK.”
