Mrs. Wise

To ask the Secretary of State for Health (1) what plans the Edgware health trust has to build new office premises in the grounds of the Barnet general hospital;

(2) what plans there are for the closure of Edgware general hospital.

Dr. Mawhinney

The Wellhouse Trust comprises the Edgware and Barnet general hospitals. Barnet health agency's five-year strategy proposes the development of Barnet hospital and the reshaping or closure of Edgware hospital. The period of public consultation ends on 31 January. Any formal proposal to close Edgware hospital would be subject to separate public consultation.
