HC Deb 21 June 1979 vol 968 c661W
Mrs. Fenner

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services, in view of the recent adverse report on United Kingdom infant mortality, if he will ensure an earlier start for the Medway intensive care baby unit.

Dr. Vaughan

The South-East Thames regional health authority intends to provide the special care baby unit at All Saints hospital as quickly as possible and planning is proceeding to a tight timetable. It is unlikely a start on site earlier than June 1980 will prove possible.
