HC Deb 25 October 1989 vol 158 cc475-6W
Mr. Wigley

To ask the Secretary of State for Health what representations he has received from the Association for Spinal Injury Research Rehabilitation and Reintegration with regard to financial support for the Mike Heaffey Centre for people with disabilities; whether his Department is now willing to give financial support for this project; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Freeman

We have been informed by the association of the financial circumstances of the Mike Heaffey centre. The question of making good the shortfall in construction costs of the centre is a matter for the association to negotiate with the bodies concerned.
