§ Mrs. Jegerasked the Secretary of State for Social Services what accommodation at the Whittington Hospital has been offered to the Elizabeth Garrett Anderson Hospital to enable it to function as a separate identifiable unit, including provision for out-patient consultations and treatment, auxiliary services, reception and clerical facilities.
§ Mr. EnnalsThe long-term proposal comprises 85 beds in wards A12, A13, A14 and A15 and an out-patient department in the south block of the Archway Wing. The staff at the Elizabeth Garrett Anderson have now confirmed to me that they are prepared to consider any offer of alternative accommodation without commitment subject to the precise nature of the facility being determined. I have invited the regional and area health authorities, representatives of the staff of the Elizabeth Garrett Anderson, and other interest parties to come together under the chairmanship of one of my senior officials to consider detailed proposals for alternative accommodation.
