HC Deb 31 July 1972 vol 842 cc19-20
21. Mr. Gower

asked the Secretary of State for Wales what provision has been made for hospital out-patients at Barry until out-patients' facilities become available at the Llandough Hospital, at Penarth.

Mr. Gibson-Watt

I am currently considering a proposal from the Welsh Hospital Board to continue the outpatient facilities at the Amy Evans Memorial Clinic instead of transferring them to Barry Accident Hospital as originally proposed. I will inform my hon. Friend as soon as a decision has been taken.

Mr. Gower

Can my hon. Friend give the House any idea of the approximate timetable for the provision of alternative facilities at Llandough Hospital, Penarth?

Mr. Gibson-Watt

Plans for the new out-patients' chest department at Llandough are well advanced, but it is too early to forecast a date for completion of the full out-patient facilities.
