HC Deb 18 October 1982 vol 29 cc12-3
16. Mr. D. E. Thomas

asked the Secretary of State for Wales when capital resources will be made available to Gwynedd health authority to start work on the reorganisation of Llandudno general hospital.

Mr. Wyn Roberts

The health authority has not yet submitted proposals to the Welsh Office for the reorganisation of the hospital. The question of making capital resources available does not, therefore, yet arise.

Mr. Thomas

Do the Minister and his Department know that the health authority is about to submit final plans later this month? Will the Minister give an assurance that, when he sees the plans, the reorganisation programme will be included in the capital budget for the Gwynedd health authority for 1983–84?

Mr. Roberts

I have already advised the health authority that the scheme will be considered for inclusion in the all-Wales capital programme if it is ready for a start before 1 April 1984. The scheme is included in the health authority's dry run capital programme to start in 1984–85.
