Knights Hill Home For The Mentally Ill

EDM number 908 in 1989-90, proposed by Harriet Harman on 27/04/1990.

That this House expresses its deep concern over the delays of nearly four years in implementing plans for the development of the Knights Hill Home for the mentally ill in south-east London; notes that the Cane Hill hospital in Surrey is due for imminent closure yet alternative places for all the patients have not been found because of these delays; recognises that plans for the development of the Knights Hill site were first drawn up in October 1986 and are now far advanced; is worried about the anxiety caused to relatives of patients and to staff by these delays; is concerned at the cost of these delays to the Camberwell Health Authority; and calls on the Government to urge the South East Thames Regional Health Authority to grant approval in principle to the plans for the development of the Knights Hill site.

This motion has been signed by a total of 16 MPs.
