HC Deb 24 November 1975 vol 901 cc40-1W
Mr. Steen

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what is the present capacity of the emergency accident unit at Broad Green Hospital, Liverpool.

Dr. Owen

There is no ready measure of the capacity of an accident and emergency department which is dependent on the facilities available elsewhere in the hospital.

Mr. Steen

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if there is to be a new emergency accident unit at Broad Green Hospital, Liverpool.

Dr. Owen

The Mersey Regional Health Authority will be considering plans for the extension of the accident and emergency department at Broad Green for inclusion in its programme of capital works, when it is advised of its capital allocations.
