Closure Of Haywards Heath Hospital

EDM number 815 in 1992-93, proposed by Dawn Primarolo on 11/11/1992.

That this House is appalled to learn that Haywards Heath Hospital is to be closed temporarily by Mid-Downs Health Authority as part of a plan to stabilise the health authority's finances; believes that this temporary closure will become permanent; notes that the hospital looks after 56 elderly and terminally ill people with 28 general practitioner beds; further notes that the reasons given for the financial crisis is a loss of contracts within East Sussex and from general practitioner fund holders; and therefore calls on the Government to immediately take steps to invest in NHS provision so hospital closures can be avoided.

This motion has been signed by a total of 54 MPs.
