Mr. Gough

asked the Minister of Health if he will make a statement on the progress made in the rebuilding of Crawley Hospital.

Mr. Walker-Smith

The preparation of working drawings and bills of quantities

Mr. Walker-Smith

The cost plus basis is only appropriate exceptionally, in an emergency or when the full extent of the work required to be done can be ascertained only during the progress of the work. Two schemes costing some £7,000 were carried out simultaneously at Shelton Hospital over a period of slightly more than two years commencing in July, 1954.
