HC Deb 20 April 1978 vol 948 c330W
Mr. Pavitt

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services when the unit for the young chronic sick will be available; and if the Minister for the Disabled will perform the opening ceremony.

Mr. Moyle

Brent and Harrow Area Health Authority is intending to adapt and extend an existing ward at Willesden Hospital to provide a 16-bed younger disabled unit which will serve both Brent and Harrow health districts. Present proposals are for a start to be made on site in January 1979, with completion in April-May 1980. If an invitation to open the unit is extended to my hon. Friend, I know it will be sympathetically considered.
