HC Deb 30 June 1983 vol 44 c143W
Mrs. Dunwoody

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services whether he has any plans to allow the Royal National Orthopaedic hospital to be sold off as surplus to requirements.

Mr. Kenneth Clarke

The lease on the hospital's Great Portland street premises expires in July 1984, and Bloomsbury health authority is consulting on proposals to transfer the services currently provided there to the Middlesex hospital and to the Stanmore branch of the Royal National Orthopaedic hospital.
