HC Deb 20 December 1957 vol 580 c120W
Mr. Hayman

asked the Minister of Health what buildings the first phase of the proposed area hospital for Cornwall will comprise; what is the estimated cost and when its completion is expected; how many other phases are planned; what are the estimated costs of each; and when it is anticipated that each of these phases will be completed.

Mr. Walker-Smith

I understand that the plan for a first phase which is now being considered by the Regional Hospital Board provides for a ward block with ancillary departments and for accommodation for doctors and nurses and that the estimated cost is about £850,000. I cannot say at this stage when a first phase or succeeding phases might be completed, how many succeeding phases there might have to be, or what each might cost.
