HC Deb 25 April 1978 vol 948 cc547-8W
Mrs. Jeger

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services whether he has yet reached a decision about the future of the Elizabeth Garrett Anderson Hospital.

Mr. Moyle

The North East Thames Regional Health Authority considered the report of the Camden and Islington Area Health Authority (Teaching) on the future of the Elizabeth Garrett Anderson Hospital on 24th April. I understand that the RHA has decided to recommend that the Elizabeth Garrett Anderson on Euston Road be closed. My right hon. Friend is now awaiting the RHA's submission and will be considering its conclusions and the many other views that we have received, against the background of statements which he and his predecessor, my right hon. Friend the Member for Blackburn (Mrs. Castle) have made from time to time on this issue. My right hon. Friend hopes to make an early statement after receiving the RHA's submission.
