§ Mr. Barry Jonesasked the Secretary of State for Wales when he proposes to establish a general hospital in East Flintshire; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Peter ThomasThe Welsh Hospital Board has no plans to build a new district general hospital in East Flintshire. It is envisaged that acute hospital services for this area will be provided by the Clwyd District General Hospital now being built at Bodelwyddan and by Maelor General Hospital. I am at present awaiting proposals from the board for the redevelopment of the latter hospital.
