§ 1. Sir A. Meyerasked the Secretary of State for Wales when he expects work to begin on the construction of a regional general hospital at Bodelwyddan.
§ The Secretary of State for Wales (Mr. Peter Thomas)It is hoped that construction of the new Rhyl District General Hospital will begin towards the end of 1971 or early the following year.
§ Sir A. MeyerI thank my right hon. and learned Friend for that reply. May I take it that this is a firm decision to proceed not later than that date? There have been so many postponements in this case that people are beginning to lose hope.
§ Mr. Peter ThomasThat decision is as firm as I can possibly make it.
