HC Deb 27 October 1993 vol 230 c682W
15. Dr. Strang

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will make a statement on the proposed new Edinburgh royal infirmary.

Mr. Stewart

I understand that Lothian health board has almost completed consideration of its strategy for the provision of acute services and will submit its proposals to public consultation shortly. My right hon. Friend looks forward to seeing the proposals but cannot comment on them in detail until public consultation is complete and the board's proposals are formally submitted to him for approval.
