§ Mr. Radiceasked the Secretary of State for Social Services whether he is yet in a position to make a decision about the provision of a new hospital for the west side of the Sunderland area.
§ Mr. Kenneth ClarkeNo. In April I asked the regional health authority for a full appraisal of two possible sites—at Herrington and at Ryhope—for the second general hospital in Sunderland. I will make a decision when that appraisal is completed.
