HC Deb 27 March 1986 vol 94 c585W
Mr. Williams

asked the Secretary of State for Wales on what date and by whom it was first officially proposed by Her Majesty's Government or the West Glamorgan health authority that the casualty unit at Singleton hospital should be closed.

Mr. Mark Robinson

The transfer of the major accident service from Singleton to Morriston was approved by the then Secretary of State in April 1977 and the provision of a minor casualty unit at Singleton was the subject of the health authority's planning policies from that time until May 1985, when the health authority made a proposal to abandon that commitment which my right hon. Friend was unable to accept.
