HC Deb 31 July 1952 vol 504 c161W
47. Mr. Watkins

asked the Minister of Health what protests have been made to him against the decision of the Brecon and Radnor Hospital Management Committee to build a new laundry at the St. David's Hospital, Brecon; whether he is satisfied that a laundry is urgently required; and whether he will arrange for the Welsh Regional Hospital Board to keep the local management committee informed of recent further inquiries.

Mr. Iain Macleod

The only protest came from the proprietor of a local laundry. I am satisfied that a laundry should be provided at this hospital as soon as possible. The Regional Hospital Board informed the management committee of the latest position on 22nd July.

Mr. Watkins

asked the Minister of Health whether he can now give the starting date for the building of a new laundry at St. David's Hospital, Brecon; and what is the estimated cost.

Mr. Ian Macleod

The answer to the first part of the Question is "No." The estimated cost is£6,000.
