Mrs. Currie

No.

Mrs. Ann Winterton

To ask the Secretary of State for Social Services whether he has any plans to meet residents of the Cranage Hall hospital or their parents and relatives.

Mrs. Currie

We have received no requests to meet them and therefore we have no plans to do so.

Mrs. Ann Winterton

To ask the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will call for a report from the chairman of the Mersey regional health authority and Crewe district health authority into the handling of the proposed run-down of Cranage Hall hospital.

Mrs. Currie

Proposals for Cranage Hall hospital are being formulated by the Crewe health authority in collaboration with the Cheshire social services department. These proposals are still at an early stage, but we will be monitoring progress through the review and planning processes.
