asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will name the notifier of the private hospital proposals listed in Official Report, 7 December 1981, c. 308–310, 17 May 1982, c. 43–44 and 28 October 1982, c. 497–498; and if he will list, give the number of beds in and name the notifier of or applicant for authorisation for private hospital proposals which have been notified him or authorised to him since the last notification listed on 28 October 1982.
My hon. and learned Friend has already said it would not be right to name those who have notified us of an intention to apply for planning permission for private hospital developments. Since 28 October 1982 I have, however, received four such notifications as listed, but have not received any applications for the authorisation of the development of private hospitals or given any such authorisations.
| Proposed hospital/site | Number of beds |
| Land adjacent to: | |
| The Gynsills, Gynsills Lane, Glenfield, Leicester | 119 |
| Little Aston Hall, Streetly, West Midlands | 50 |
| Kings Wood, Tunbridge Wells, Kent | 12 |
| Sandling Wood, Sandling Lane, Maidstone, Kent | 48 |
asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will name the owner of each of the private hospitals listed in Official Report, 18 January, c. 55–7; and if he will list, give the number of beds in and name the owner of the private hospitals which have opened since June 1981 and list any private hospitals which have closed since then.
