Rural Hospitals (EDM185)

Rural Hospitals

EDM number 185 in 1997-98, proposed by Nick Harvey on 30/06/1997.

That this House believes that the rurality of areas should be taken into account when decisions are taken on the closure of hospitals; considers that small rural hospitals are just as important to the communities they serve as large city hospitals; and calls on the Government to consider seriously the impact of the closure of small hospitals in the same way that it does large hospitals.

This motion has been signed by a total of 48 MPs.
