§ Mr. Anthony CoombsTo ask the Secretary of State for Health if he will make a statement on the contribution made by the Guy's Evelina children's hospital appeal to sponsor a cot to supporting cots in that unit.
§ Mr. Kenneth ClarkeThis appeal has been running since 1983 and helps to support additional nurses for the unit's intensive care cots which are always in great demand because of its high reputation. Contrary to recent misleading publicity, Guy's hospital management board has stated that there is no financial crisis in the allocation of National Health Service resources to the unit. The Government fully appreciate, however, the contributions made by individuals and organisations to the support of additional health facilities.
