§ Mrs. Jegerasked the Secretary of State for Social Services what use is being made of the old Royal Free Hospital building in Gray's Inn Road; what is the approximate value of this site; and what long-term proposals have been agreed for its future use.
§ Mr. MoyleThe uses described in my reply to my hon. Friend on 11th January 1977—[Vol. 923, c.455–6.]—continue. In addition, some space has been used to provide a new boiler house and other engineering services for the Eastman Dental Hospital. The value of the site was estimated in March 1977 as £230,000.
It has been agreed that a further part of the old Royal Free buildings should be used by the Eastman Dental Hospital to rationalise their facilities and relieve overcrowding, but the details are still subject to discussion. There is likely to be a long-term NHS need for the nurses' residences. The North-East Thames Regional Health Authority is discussing with the Camden Borough Council the future of the remainder of the site.
