§ Mr. O'Halloranasked the Secretary of State for Social Services, in view of the closure of the accident and emergency department of the Royal Northern hospital, N7, which was set up as an Islington war memorial 1914–1918 by public subscription, if he will make a statement as to what has happened to the trust deed and the invested funds of the memorial.
§ Mr. Geoffrey FinsbergEndowments of former voluntary non-teaching hospitals were transferred in 1948 to the hospital endowment fund. In 1974 that fund was wound up and distributed among regional health authorities, area health authorities and special trustees. On 1 April 1982 endowment funds held by area health authorities were distributed to district health authorities. The Islington health authority is entirely responsible for the custody, management and use of trust funds relating to the Royal Northern and the hon. Member may like to seek further information direct from that authority.
