§ Lady Olga MaitlandTo ask the Secretary of State for Health what assessment she has made of whether Charing Cross hospital, as it is presently equipped and staffed, will be able to meet the requirements as the focal point of all west London cancer services; and what extra expenditure will be required in order for it to do so.
§ Dr. MawhinneyNo specific studies of the capacity of the Charing Cross site for cancer services have been carried out. However, the Hammersmith/Charing Cross relocation 809W group is studying the possible relocation of all the services of the Hammersmith and Charing Cross (including cancer services) on to one site.
