To ask the Secretary of State for Health how many people who had suffered a stroke were admitted to acute stroke beds in each of the hospitals constituting the North Cheshire Hospitals Trust in each of the past five years. [82706]

The information requested is not available centrally in the form requested. However, the table shows the latest available published data1 for finished consultant episodes for stroke at Halton General Hospital and Warrington Hospital national health service Trusts for each of the five years 1996–97 to 2000–01.

Warrington Hospital would be retained and six new acute stroke assessment beds established at Halton Hospital.
