HC Deb 16 December 1993 vol 234 cc808-9W
Lady Olga Maitland

To 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. Mawhinney

No specific studies of the capacity of the Charing Cross site for cancer services have been carried out. However, the Hammersmith/Charing Cross relocation group is studying the possible relocation of all the services of the Hammersmith and Charing Cross (including cancer services) on to one site.
