HC Deb 13 February 1956 vol 548 c226W
55. Mr. Chapman

asked the Minister of Health to give the date when the proposals were first received for the present extensions to Holymoor Hospital, Birmingham; the date when the proposals were finally approved; and details of the points of dispute between the regional board and his Department on the planning of the extensions, together with the length of time involved over each major point of dispute.

Mr. Turton

Sketch plans were first submitted in July, 1954. The only substantial point of difference between the regional board and my Department was on the siting of the buildings; this was settled by December, 1954. After all the other usual work had been done, in the Board's offices and my Department, final approval was given in January, 1956.
