HC Deb 13 March 2000 vol 346 c36W
Mr. Loughton

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions what undertakings he has received from the Department of Health regarding the provision of additional hospital and other medical services over the next 15 years to cater for the increased housing requirement in West Sussex. [114408]

Mr. Raynsford

We will be consulting SERPLAN and others on the distribution of housing within the region, including for West Sussex, during the forthcoming consultation period. When regional planning guidance for the South East is finalised later this year it will provide a planning framework which will assist decisions about the provision of supporting infrastructure, including additional hospital and other medical services.
