HC Deb 18 March 1994 vol 239 c889W
Ms Jowell

To ask the Secretary of State for Health if she will publish the evidence on which the decision to close Guy's hospital was based.

Dr. Mawhinney

No decision has been made to close Guy's hospital.

Mr. Simon Hughes

To ask the Secretary of State for Health what implications the proposed changes at Guy's hospital, south London, will have on the meeting of targets set by her patients charter initiative.

Dr. Mawhinney

It is the responsibility of local health authorities working with the trust to ensure that patients charter standards are met. Local health authorities and clinicians at the trust have argued strongly that patient care would be improved by concentrating clinical services on one site.
