§ Mr. Corbynasked the Secretary of State for Social Services (1) if he will publish the financial arrangements that his Department has entered into with the charitable trust that now administers Tadworth Court hospital;
(2) if he will place in the Library a resume of discussions he had with the charitable trust that now administers Tadworth Court hospital.
§ Mr. Kenneth ClarkeI refer the hon. Member to my right hon. Friend's reply on 14 March 1983, at columns48–50 and to my reply on 18 November 1983, at columns 614–15, to my hon. Friend the Member for Reigate (Mr. Gardiner). The hospital is to be transferred on 1 April 1984.
§ Mr. Corbynasked the Secretary of State for Social Services how many of the National Health Service staff employed at Tadworth Court hospital will be employed by the charity that will administer the inistitution in the future.
§ Mr. Kenneth ClarkeThis is a matter for the Tadworth Court trust.
§ Mr. Corbynasked the Secretary of State for Social Services whether, in his discussions on the establishment of a charitable trust, he considered arrangements for the trade union representation of staff at Tadworth Court hospital.
§ Mr. Kenneth ClarkeNo. I would always have regarded any question of the representation of the staff after the transfer of the hospital to the Tadworth Court trust as a matter for the new employers, but, so far as I am aware and can recall, the matter was never raised with me.
