Barnet Hospital: Psychiatry

Mr. Dismore
To ask the Secretary of State for Health what progress has been made on the new building for psychiatric services provision at Barnet hospital; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Bradshaw
The provision of psychiatric services in Barnet is a matter for the local national health service.

However, we have been informed that the Barnet psychiatric unit is projected to be completed in February 2008, with services being provided from the site by April 2008.
