HC Deb 27 July 1989 vol 157 c919W
Dr. Glyn

To ask the Secretary of State for Health, if he will ensure that the acute services available at King Edward VII hospital, Windsor, are not reduced to the extent that constituents will be deprived of any local hospital and compelled to rely on facilities for which adequate public transport is not available.

Mr. Freeman

I understand that East Berkshire health authority will soon be starting formal public consultation on its proposals to rationalise the provision of acute services within its district. The matter may in due course be referred to Ministers for a final decision and it is therefore inappropriate for me to make any comment at this stage.
