HC Deb 03 June 1957 vol 571 c891
19. Mr. Gower

asked the Minister of Health what progress has been made in the preliminary preparations for the erection of a new South Wales teaching hospital; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Vaughan-Morgan

The schedules of accommodation have been fully studied and the Welsh Board of Health sent its comments to the hospital authority and medical school on 3rd May. It is proposed to arrange an architectural competition when agreement has been reached on the detailed needs of the new hospital.

Mr. Gower

Would my right hon. Friend like to give even a rough estimate of when the plans are likely to be submitted?

Mr. Vaughan-Morgan

I am afraid that depends in part on the result of the competition.
