HC Deb 18 January 1978 vol 942 c273W
Mr. Ridsdale

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what steps are being taken to provide the North-East Thames Hospital Region with a special unit for the treatment of burns; and whether he will make a statement.

Mr. Moyle

The North-East Thames Regional Health Authority does not give high priority in its capital programme to a specialist burns unit but has agreed to meet the revenue costs if a local appeal in Billericay to raise the capital for such a unit is successful.
