HC Deb 08 March 1976 vol 907 c114W
Mr. MacGregor

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services how many pay beds she has suggested in her proposals to the Norfolk Area Health Authority should be removed from Norfolk in the first phase of phasing out pay beds; and where.

Dr. Owen

In the proposals which my right hon. Friend has circulated for consultation she has included for phasing out eight of the 63 pay beds currently authorised in the area. The location of the particular beds to be phased out will be decided in the light of further consultation after publication of the schedule.
