to bring the responsibility for hospitals in the Wisbech area under the control of the Cambridgeshire Area Health Authority.

Mr. Moyle

No. I have not received any representations from the East Anglian Regional Health Authority; nor has it received any from the Cambridgeshire Area Health Authority; nor from Norfolk Area Health Authority which is responsible for the provision of health services in Wisbech, that there should be a change in the present arrangements. Before making any change I should need to be satisfied that it would be in the best interests of the local community.
