Mr. Dormand

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will make a statement on the progress being made on the provision of a community hospital in Peterlee.

The decision as to which hospital development, should be included in the regional capital programme is a matter for the Northern regional health authority in the light of its service priorities and the resources available.
