Lord Clement-Jones

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether they plan to acquire the National Heart Hospital in Westmoreland Street, London; and, if so, what progress is being made on the acquisition. [HL523]

Lord Hunt of Kings Heath

The National Health Service is aware that the current owners of the Heart Hospital, a private hospital situated in Westmoreland Street, London, may be trying to dispose of the business.
