Mr. Dempsey

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will give an approximate date for the start of the new district general hospital at Airdrie, the number of beds to be provided, the estimated cost and an approximate date for its completion.

Mr. Gordon Campbell

The Western Regional Hospital Board hopes to start construction of the new district general hospital at Airdrie later this year. Five hundred and eighty-seven beds will be provided. The estimated cost of the project, including equipment, is about £7 million, and it is expected to be completed towards the end of 1975.
