HC Deb 13 December 1971 vol 828 c23W
Mr. Hicks

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what has been the cost of transport in each year since the closure of the Trebarras Maternity Home, Liskeard, in taking expectant mothers living in the Trebarras Home catchment areas to other hospitals and maternity homes.

Mr. Alison

I regret this information is not available.

Mr. Hicks

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what extra facilities and number of beds, together with the costs have been provided in neighbouring hospitals and maternity homes since the closure of the Trebarras Maternity Home, Liskeard, as a direct consequence of this decision.

Mr. Alison

None. It has been possible to care for the patients affected by the closure of these six beds within existing resources.
