HC Deb 06 February 1973 vol 850 c53W
22. Mr. Edwin Wainwright

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will list the number of occasions that representatives from his Department have had discussions with the officials of the Sheffield and District Branch of the National Health Services Association, prior to the decision that has now been taken to build the new No. 3 Regional Hospital Board's offices in the Nottingham district.

Sir K. Joseph

Staff side interests were informed at national Whitley Council level both in 1971 and most recently in December 1972. I have received views from many national and local associations and will take them into account in arriving at a final decision.
