I am grateful for the hon. Gentleman’s question and I would certainly be happy to look further into the matter and write to him accordingly.
Tony Lloyd (Manchester Central) (Lab)
When the Minister responsible for care services wrote to me about the closure of the Edale unit in Manchester, why did he not address the issue that the closure would cost more money than it saved or the fact that the police had expressed concerns about their access in emergency times, particularly during the weekend?
Paul Burstow
I am sorry if the hon. Gentleman feels that all the issues have not been dealt with following our telephone conversation and subsequent correspondence. I will check the correspondence again, and if I find that something is missing, I will certainly provide an answer.
