§ Mr. William Rossasked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland how many new medical and nursing posts he expects to be created in Londonderry hospitals and how many he expects to disappear during the next three years.
§ Mr. Chris Patten[pursuant to his reply, 19 January 1984, c. 322]: Any increases in medical and nursing posts in Londonderry hospitals will depend on the resources available to the Western health and social services board for the planed development of services. The board has no plans to decrease the number of medical and nursing posts in those hospitals during the next three years.
