HC Deb 25 October 1989 vol 158 c478W
Mr. Alton

To ask the Secretary of State for Health how many new patients were treated by Broadgreen hospital's accident and emergency unit in the last year; and what consultation has taken place with consultants working in the unit about its future.

Mr. Mellor

We do not hold information centrally about the number of new patients treated at the unit. The future of the unit, along with plans for the development of other health services locally, is a matter for the health authority concerned. The hon. Member may wish, therefore, to contact the chairman of the Liverpool health authority.

Mr. Alton

To ask the Secretary of State for Health (1) if he will make a statement on future geriatric provision by Liverpool area health authority;

(2) if he will make a statement on the future of Olive Mount hospital, Liverpool;

(3) if he will make a statement on the future of the accident and emergency unit at Broadgreen hospital, Liverpool.

Mr. Mellor

The planning and development of health services locally is a matter for the health authority concerned. The hon. Member may wish to contact the chairman of the Liverpool health authority.
