HC Deb 21 July 1976 vol 915 c521W
Mr. Hal Miller

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what proportion of the patients at Blackwell Recovery Hospital and St. John's Hospital Droitwich come from the Bromsgrove and Redditch health district; and what proportion of the expenditure on these two hospitals falls to be met from the budget of the Bromsgrove-Redditch Health District.

Dr. Owen

In 1974, the latest year for which figures are available, the proportion of patients at the Blackwell Recovery Hospital and St. John's Hospital coming from the Bromsgrove-Redditch Health District was 11.7 per cent. and 4.1 per cent. respectively. The full cost of running both hospitals is met by the Bromsgrove/Redditch health district, and their revenue allocation reflects this commitment.
