HC Deb 23 April 1971 vol 815 cc485-6W
Mr. Golding

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what progress has been made in turning the Fanny Deakin Memorial Hospital, Newcastle-under-Lyme, into a hospital for the young chronic sick; and whether he will make a statement.

Conversion work is up to schedule. The hospital is being staffed and equipped and it is hoped that the first younger chronic sick patients will be admitted early in July.
