§ 71. Mr. Mikardoasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science, in view of the shortage of doctors in Wales and the fact that there is only one medical school in Cardiff, whether she will give urgent consideration to the establishment of a second teaching hospital at Singleton Hospital, Swansea, where a suitable site already exists.
§ Mr. van StraubenzeeCurrent planning is based on a maximum of 4,100 pre-clinical entry places by the later 1970s, and this can be achieved without establishing a medical school at Swansea. Decisions on any additional medical schools must await further determination of the national need for doctors.
