asked Her Majesty's Government:

Where the new spinal injuries unit for the South of England, as forecast on page 46 in the Consultative Document Priorities for Health and Personal Social Services in England will be sited, and when it will he functional.

Lord WELLS-PESTELL

Several possible sites have been considered and, taking all relevant factors into consideration, Odstock Hospital at Salisbury appears to provide the most suitable facilities for a new spinal injuries unit. Discussions are now taking place on the details of the project and my honourable friend the Minister for the Disabled intends to make a statement as soon as possible in the New Year.
