HC Deb 07 February 1966 vol 724 c3W
17. Mr. Heffer

asked the Minister of Health what are the reasons for the continued delay in the completion of the new out-patient department at Walton Hospital, Liverpool; and what steps are being taken to speed up the work.

Mr. K. Robinson

The cumulative effects of labour disputes, low productivity and, in the first year, bad weather. Additional supervisory staff has been allocated and a revised programme prepared to co-ordinate the work of the engineering and main contractors.
