Mr. Thurtle
asked the Minister of Health if he is now in a position to make a statement regarding the future of St. Leonard's Hospital, Shoreditch.
The Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Health
(Mr. John Edwards)
I understand that the London County Council are in touch with the General Nursing Council on this matter.
Mr. Thurtle
Is the hon. Gentleman aware that it will be a very great blow to the poor people of this crowded area if the hospital is closed?
Mr. Edwards
I will bear in mind what ray hon. Friend says, but I ask him to understand that I cannot express an opinion on a matter which might come before the Minister by way of appeal.
