HC Deb 20 October 1969 vol 788 c157W
51. Mr. Dance

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services whether he will give an assurance that any plans for improving hospitals for the mentally sub-normal in the region will be in addition to and not at the expense of the provision of the new District General Hospital for Redditch.

Mr. Crossman

The new district general hospital for Redditch is not due to start for some years yet so I cannot say whether it will be affected by improvements to services for the mentally handicapped.
