HC Deb 18 April 1995 vol 258 c122W
Mrs. Beckett

To ask the Secretary of State for Health what is the average deprivation score for the areas of each hospital listed as due to change in London in the announcement of 4 April. [18715]

Mr. Malone

The following figures for the relevant district health authorities are calculated using the same method as the Department of the Environment's ward index of local conditions.

A positive score shows relatively high levels of deprivation, while a negative score shows relatively low levels.

District Health Authority (DHA) DOE index
Barnet -2.065
Brent and Harrow 13.530
East London and the City 28.203
Bexley and Greenwich 13.289
South East London 27.250
