PARLIAMENTARY EARLY DAY MOTION
CLOSURE OF HAYWARDS HEATH HOSPITAL (11 November 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.
