HC Deb 11 May 1990 vol 172 c251W
Mr. John D. Taylor

To ask the Secretary of State for Health what was the total of hospital beds in each of the past five years within the constituency of Richmond and Barnes.

Mr. Dorrell

Information about hospital beds is collected centrally by district health authority, and is not available for individual parliamentary constituencies. The figures for Richmond, Twickenham and Roehampton health authority are given in the table. The recent fall is due to the closure of St. John's hospital in Twickenham.
