HC Deb 26 February 1990 vol 168 cc86-7W
Mr. Nigel Griffiths

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland when the new dental hospital for Edinburgh is expected to come into commission.

Mr. Michael Forsyth

This depends upon the outcome of Lothian health board's forthcoming appraisal of possible sites.

Mr. Nigel Griffiths

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland whether the Scottish Office is prepared to provide the necessary earmarked capital and recurrent expenditure to support the university of Edinburgh's postgraduate dental institute, for which proposals were put to him in December.

Mr. Michael Forsyth

I have already made it clear that the Government will meet the capital cost of the proposed institute. The revenue aspects will require detailed consultation with all the parties involved, once we have the results of the appraisal to be conducted by Lothian health board.
