HC Deb 14 May 1990 vol 172 c296W
Mr. Wigley

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales whether he will take steps to ensure that in circumstances in which former trust hospitals are to be closed notwithstanding the provisions of section 88(2) of the National Health Service Act 1977, those hospital buildings will first be offered back to trustees, or acting trustees in the area, and that if such trustees wish to take over the hospital building, they shall not be required to pay more for them than was paid, if at all, by the National Health Service for them when they were taken over from the trustees.

Mr. Grist

No.

Mr. Wigley

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales if he will list the hospitals and other units in Wales which have expressed an interest in seeking National Health Service trust status once the current legislation has reached the statute book.

Mr. Grist

No firm expressions of interest have been received to date.
