§ 16. Mr. Rentonasked Secretary of State for Social Services if he will visit St. Francis' hospital, Haywards Heath.
§ Dr. VaughanI plan to visit Chailey Heritage and Croft school and will be glad to extend the visit to include St. Francis' hospital if my hon. Friend would like me to.
§ Mr. RentonI thank my hon. Friend for that assurance. May I suggest that he also finds time on that occasion to visit the neighbouring site of the new district general hospital, where work is to begin on the foundations in March? He will be most welcome. Does he recall that patients and resources are now being transferred from St. Francis' hospital to Brighton so that St. Francis' may develop more as a community hospital serving its own district? Is he satisfied with progress so far in that direction?
§ Dr. VaughanI should be glad to extend my visit as my hon. Friend suggests. Plans for developing resources at Brighton are going ahead. If my hon. Friend wishes me to look into the matter further, I shall be glad to do so.
