§ 28. Mr. J. Bennettasked the Secretary of State for Scotland when the maternity unit at Belvedere Hospital, Glasgow, was first due to be opened; and when it is now expected to be opened.
§ Mr. GalbraithThe opening planned for last summer had to be deferred mainly because of difficulty in recruiting nursing staff for the hospital as a general practitioner unit. It has therefore been reorganised as a part specialist and part general practitioner unit, and since last 382 month has been coming into use gradually as the recruitment of nurses proceeds.
§ Mr. BennettI thank the hon. Gentleman for that reply.
