asked the Secretary of State for Social Services whether he will list those hospitals in West London which may be closed, or whose function may be substantially changed, as a result of the review now taking place.
The hospitals in West London which may be closed as a result of the review now taking place are:
- Brentford Hospital
- Western Hospital
- St. Helena's Recovery Home
- Dame Gertrude Young Memorial Hospital
- Hounslow Hospital
- South Middlesex Hospital
- Acton Hospital
asked the Secretary of State for Social Services whether lie will ensure that the hospital services available to patients in the Hounslow, Brentford, Chiswick and Isleworth areas of West London are not adversely affected by schemes to re-allocate resources within the Health Service in England and that, if necessary, the implementation of such schemes is postponed in order to avoid reductions in service to patients.
