HC Deb 01 July 1957 vol 572 cc73-4W
49. Miss Burton

asked the Minister of Health whether he is aware of disappointment in Coventry that item 1 of the phase 3 rebuilding programme at Stoney Stanton Road Hospital is not expected to be finished before July, 1958, and item 3 before October. 1958; and if he will make a statement on this delay.

Mr. Vaughan-Morgan

My information is that satisfactory progress is now being made on both these items. They are large contracts, and I do not think it would be reasonable to expect earlier completion.

50. Miss Burton

asked the Minister of Health whether, as completion dates of items 1 and 3 have now been amended, he will make a statement on item 4 of the phase 3 rebuilding programme at Stoney Stanton Road Hospital, Coventry.

Mr. Vaughan-Morgan

As the hon. Lady knows, work on this item cannot start until item 1 and a substantial part of item 3 have been completed. The necessary planning is however being considered by architects concerned, the management committee and the regional board together.

Miss Burton

asked the Minister of Health if he is now in a position to make a detailed statement upon items 5 and 7 of the phase 3 rebuilding programme at Stoney Stanton Road Hospital, Coventry.

Mr. Vaughan-Morgan

Alternative sites for the dental department (item 5) are under consideration locally by the management committee and the regional board. The board has been authorised to negotiate a contract for a prefabricated building for the nurse training school (item 7).
