§ 2. Mr. Denzil Daviesasked the Secretary of State for Wales what consultations his Department has had with the Welsh Hospital Board regarding the services to be provided at Llanelly General Hospital in the future.
§ Mr. Peter ThomasI have nothing to add to the reply which my hon. Friend gave to the hon. Member on 16th July.—[Vol. 803, c. 267–8.]
§ Mr. DaviesWill the Minister recognise that there is considerable fear in my constituency that the Welsh Hospital Board's policy towards Llanelly Hospital is one of benign, and perhaps not so benign, neglect? Will he urge the board to carry out the promise given in 1966 by the then chairman to spend £1 million on the immediate development of Llanelly Hospital?
§ Mr. Peter ThomasI know that concern has been expressed about the future of the Llanelly Hospital. I know, too, that the board is anxious to do what it can, having regard to its other many commitments.
