GUY'S HOSPITAL

That this House notes the hugh regional, national and international support for Guy's Hospital, the massive recent investment on the Guy's site, particularly the ??154 million of charitable and taxpayers' money spent on Phillip Harris House, designed and built to be the latest and most advanced building in the NHS, the extra space which has become available on the Guy's site because of the very recently changed plans of King's College, London, and the United Medical and Dental School, and the now uncontested opinion, endorsed among others by the local health commission and the regional health authority, that it is not possible safely to close Guy's Accident and Emergency Department until 1999 at the earliest; and calls on Her Majesty's Government to take decisions which, for the foreseeable future, retain Guy's as a viable hospital, with an accident and emergency department, back-up services, and the use of the new buildings including Philip Harris House at Guy's for the purposes for which they were built, thereby, ensuring for the future the best and most clinically coherent arrangement of services across London and for the wider public beyond.
