§ 48. Captain Pilkingtonasked the Minister of Health when the building of the proposed extension of Poole General Hospital is to begin.
§ Mr. Walker-SmithIt is hoped to start work on the first stage in October, 1958.
§ Captain PilkingtonWill my right hon. and learned Friend ensure that there is no further postponement of this matter, since the need in the area is very great, as, I think, my right hon. and learned Friend realises and as his predecessor before him realised?
§ Mr. Walker-SmithI do not think there is any question of postponement. We are now awaiting the submission by the regional hospital board of working drawings and bills of quantities which are required before the work goes out to tender.
