HC Deb 25 June 1973 vol 858 cc251-2W
Mr. Golding

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services (1) what price is being asked of the Staffordshire County Council for the Loggerheads Sanatorium land for use for social purposes;

(2) whether he will use the Loggerheads Sanatorium for a hospital for the young chronic sick;

(3) whether he will develop the Loggerheads Sanatorium as a national centre for holidays for the disabled and those who look after them;

(4) whether he will make the Loggerheads Sanatorium available at a low price to the Staffordshire County Council for use as a holiday and rest centre for the disabled and those who look after them.

Mr. Alison

This property is no longer considered suitable for hospital purposes. The Staffordshire County Council has expressed interest in acquiring it without specifying the intended use, which is for the council's decision. In accordance with established procedures, it will be offered at current market value to be assessed by the district valuer.
