HC Deb 06 June 1946 vol 423 c358W
Dr. Segal

asked the Minister of Health when it is intended to close down the Leatherhead E.M.S. hospital; and what alternative hospital accommodation will be provided after this has been carried out.

Mr. Bevan

The Leatherhead Emergency Hospital will be closed before the end of this year. It is expected that there will be a gradual reduction of cases and that the residual cases will be pensioners for whom the Ministry of Pensions will accept responsibility.
