Closure Of Hilda Lewis House

EDM number 691 in 1991-92, proposed by Dawn Primarolo on 17/02/1992.

That this House deplores the decision of the Special Health Authority to close all in patient services at Hilda Lewis House, a nationally recognised centre of excellence and the only NHS facility of its type for children with severe learning difficulties and extreme behavioural problems; recognises that the loss of this valuable service will deny already vulnerable children the opportunity of much needed therapy; and demands that the closure decision be reversed and this vital service preserved.

This motion has been signed by a total of 56 MPs.
