HC Deb 07 June 1976 vol 912 c520W
Mrs. Bain

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland how many resident places there are currently for nursing and junior medical residents at Robroyston; and if there are any plans to replace these should Robroyston Hospital be closed.

Mr. Harry Ewing

75 nursing and medical staff are at present resident at Robroyston Hospital. There are 20 places available at other hospitals in the Northern District, and another 69 places could if necessary be made available after redecoration and furnishing.

Mrs. Bain

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland how many representations he has received opposing the closure of Robroyston Hospital; and how many supporting it.

Mr. Harry Ewing

I have received five representations against the proposal and no representations in support of the proposal.
