HC Deb 02 November 1998 vol 318 c347W
28. Miss McIntosh

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence if he will provide additional funds to Northallerton health services to offset the impact of the reduction of services at the Duchess of Kent's hospital at Catterick. [55909]

Mr. Doug Henderson

There are no plans to transfer funds from my Department to Northallerton Health Services, following the reduction of services at the Duchess of Kent's Hospital, Catterick.

It is the responsibility of the North Yorkshire Health Authority to provide and allocate their own resources for civilian patient care in their area.
