HC Deb 23 May 1986 vol 98 cc384-5W
Mr. Stuart Holland

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what information he has of the needs of the West Lambeth district health authority to purchase land to provide services for patients to be discharged into the community from its own long-stay hospitals designated for closure.

Mr. Hayhoe

I am aware of the need of West Lambeth health authority to purchase land to house patients discharged from its long stay hospitals. I understand from

the regional health authority that the district is at present involved in negotiations to purchase two local sites on which suitable facilities can be built.
