Lord Vivian

asked Her Majesty's Government:

What will be the future of the staff when the Duchess of Kent Hospital in Catterick is closed. [HL355]

Lord Bach

All service personnel will be redeployed to other posts. Every measure is being taken to ensure that the number of compulsory redundancies of civilian staff is kept to a minimum. Those staff affected by redundancies will be aided in their search for employment by the Ministry of Defence outplacement scheme.
