HC Deb 12 January 1976 vol 903 cc58-9W
Mr. Richard Wainwright

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if she will list the categories of financial grants made by her Department to bodies, voluntary and statutory, in the Yorkshire and Humberside Region in each of the last five years; and if she will indicate the total amount paid into each category in each respective year.

Dr. Owen

Finance has been made available by the Department as follows:

pond its decision to close Hillingdon House and Princess Louise Convalescent Homes until a full inquiry can be held into the need for convalescent beds and possible alternative uses of these premises within the health service.

Dr. Owen

The Essex Area Health Authority has taken no decision on proposals to close these units. Consultations on their future use are now proceeding.
