HC Deb 04 July 1980 vol 987 c734W
Mr. Hal Miller

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what decision has been taken about the proposals to close St. John's hospital, Droitwich, and Blackwell recovery hospital.

Dr. Vaughan

I understand that the Hereford and Worcester area health authority recently decided not to proceed with these closure proposals. I warmly welcome this decision and commend the authority for preserving these valuable hospitals.
