Mr. Cormack
asked the Secretary of State for Social Services how many representations he has received about the future of Cosford Hospital; and if he will reconsider his decision to close the hospital at the end of the year.

About 54,000, of which 53,000 are signatories to a petition. My right hon. Friend does not intend to reconsider his decision that Cosford Hospital must close on 31st December 1977.
