HC Deb 14 June 1976 vol 913 cc51-2W
Mr. Cockcroft

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services whether he will take steps to encourage the reopening of the Albert Infirmary, Winsford, as a geriatric unit.

Dr. Owen

Cheshire Area Health Authority recognises the need for improvement in geriatric services for the Winsford area; it is unable to undertake the substantial upgrading necessary to enable the Albert Infirmary to be reopened.
