HC Deb 13 January 1986 vol 89 c503W
Mr. Corbyn

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services how many hospitals have been closed, or partly closed, due to funding restrictions in the last two months; where they are; and how much money has been saved as a result.

Mr. Whitney

Health authorities are not required to report such information to the Department, so I regret that I am unable to answer the question posed by the hon. Member, who is no doubt aware that we are spending more on health services than ever before.
