Mr. Kenneth Clarke
[pursuant to his reply, 23 November 1983; c. 198]: The information we have available centrally is set out in the attached tables. No doubt many proposals will be resolved locally but, in every case where the community health council opposes the closure, a ministerial decision will be required before closure can take place. We shall consider every case referred to us on its merits and approve closure only if we are satisfied that, on the balance of the arguments, patient services would benefit from the decision either directly or by the release of resources for developments in other parts of the service.
