§ 37. Mr. Molloyasked the Secretary of State for Social Services whether he is satisfied with the current provision of hospital beds in the London borough of Ealing.
§ Mr. MoyleThe major part of the London borough of Ealing falls within the Ealing Health District, which is not self-sufficient in bed provision and relies on other health districts to supplement acute hospital needs. However, the Ealing, Hammersmith and Hounslow Area as a whole are well provided with acute beds. The health authority's plans for rationalisation also take account of the shortage of geriatric beds.
