§ Mr. FearnTo ask the Secretary of State for Health what representations he has received concerning the proposals by Leicester district health authority to close the maternity unit at Market Harborough and move the services to Leicester hospital; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mrs. CurrieWe have received one representation specifically about the closure proposals at Market Harborough. It would not be appropriate for me to comment at this stage on the proposals because Ministers may be called upon to make the final decision.
