§ Mrs. Wiseasked the Secretary of State for Social Services when the building of the new geriatric hospital in Coventry was completed; why it is standing empty; and when it will be brought into use.
§ Dr. OwenThe new geriatric hospital was completed in January. It has not yet been brought into use because discussions over the allocation of beds between geriatrics and psycho-geriatrics have not been completed. Two wards will be brought into use within the next few weeks; the remaining five as soon 91W as discussions over their allocation have been completed.
