HC Deb 09 June 1980 vol 986 c60W
24. Sir Anthony Royle

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will visit the Westminster hospital and medical school in order to hear at first hand the anxieties of the staff following the publication of the Flowers report.

Dr. Vaughan

I have met a number of the staff of the Westminster hospital and medical school in recent months and have received letters from many more. I am therefore very conscious of and fully understand the anxiety which they feel. It is for the University of London to take decisions on the recommendations of the Flowers report.

As to the future role of the hospital, I refer my hon. Friend to the replies my hon. Friend gave to my hon. Friend the Member for Peterborough (Dr. Mawhinney) and other hon. Members on 3 June.—[Vol. 985, c. 1235–38.]
