HC Deb 22 February 1977 vol 926 c528W
Sir M. Havers

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what arrangements exist for the treatment of emergencies, accidents and casualties in the Merton, Wimbledon district.

Mr. Moyle

The principal accident and emergency facilities within the Sutton and West Merton Health District, in which Wimbledon lies, are provided at St. Helier Hospital, Carshalton, and Queen Mary's Hospital, Roehampton. Additional facilities are available to the inhabitants of Wimbledon at St. George's Hospital, Tooting, and St. James' Hospital, Balham.

Sir M. Havers

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services, if the present consultations over Wimbledon Hospital result in its closure, what arrangements will be made for the treatment of emergencies, accidents and casualties in the Merton, Wimbledon district.

Mr. Moyle

Since, as I understand, no accident and emergency or casualty services are provided at the Wimbledon Hospital, alternative arrangements would not be necessary.
