§ Mr. Dempseyasked the Secretary of State for Scotland when he proposes to upgrade the new Monklands General Hospital to the status of a teaching hospital; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Harry EwingMonkland District General Hospital was not designed to fulfil a medical teaching function, 289W although I expect that as with similar hospitals elsewhere there will be some clinical teaching of medical students there. The extent to which the clinical teaching will be undertaken there is principally a matter for the Lanarkshire Health Board and Glasgow University to determine.
