Lancaster Hospital Detoxification Unit Closure
EDM number 1321 in 2005-06, proposed by Ben Wallace on 09/01/2006.
That this House notes with concern the proposal by the Morecambe Bay Primary Care Trust (PCT) to close the Castle Unit at the Ridge Lea Hospital in Lancaster; further notes that this unit provides inpatient drug and alcohol detoxification treatment to some of North Lancashire's most vulnerable people; further notes that the Castle Unit is the only one of its kind between Glasgow and Preston; believes that the home-detoxification treatment service which the PCT proposes to introduce following the unit's closure would be wholly inappropriate for homeless patients; is appalled that this proposal has been put forward because of severe financial pressures; urges the Government to place quality of patient care and the long-term interests of the NHS before financial expedience; and calls upon the Government to review the proposed closure.
This motion has been signed by a total of 16 MPs.
