§ Mr. O'Halloranasked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he is aware of the concern among the public and the staff of the Royal Northern Hospital, Upper Holloway, London, N.19; if he will state fully what his future plans are for this hospital; and if he will make a further statement.
§ Mr. AlisonI do not know the grounds for the concern the hon. Member has in mind. The North West Metropolitan Regional Hospital Board, which is the planning authority, holds the view that the Royal Northern Hospital will continue to be needed for many years. On its ultimate rôle I cannot add to the reply I gave to the hon. Member on 26th January.—[Vol. 810, c.71.]
