HC Deb 18 March 1969 vol 780 cc74-5W
Mr. Emery

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what sums have been spent in the last financial year, or are allocated for 1968–69 and 1969–70, for new extensions to hospitals and for hospital improvement projects in Axminster, Sidmouth, Honiton and Ottery St. Mary, respectively.

Mr. Grossman

At Marlpits Hospital, Honiton, £540 was spent in 1967–68 on a laundry improvement scheme. Apart from schemes to be financed from hospital trust funds, no other capital expenditure is envisaged in the years in question but as my hon. Friend the Minister of State explained in reply to a Question from the hon. Member on 12th February, 1969, capital development of the hospital facilities serving this area is being concentrated at Exeter.—[Vol. 777, c.338.]
