HC Deb 21 May 1981 vol 5 c167W
Mr. Dormand

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what proposals he now has for the establishment of either a district general hospital or a community hospital in Peterlee; and if he will make a statement.

Dr. Vaughan

The Northern regional health authority is responsible for the hospital building programme for the region. It plans to provide a community hospital in Peterlee although a starting date for building has not yet been decided. The hon. Member may wish to contact the RHA direct for further information.
