HC Deb 02 May 1986 vol 96 c514W
Mr. Meacher

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he has sent a health circular to every district health authority instructing them not to evict any nurse from National Health Service nursing homes.

Mr. Hayhoe

The Department is advising health authorities that the policy of rationalising the residential estate is to be administered so that no one living in such accommodation is made homeless as a result. As my right hon. Friend made clear in his reply to my hon. Friend the Member for Erith and Crayford (Mr. Evennett) on 25 April, at column263, no one is to be required to move from his or her present accommodation as part of this policy without being offered a suitable alternative place to live.
