66. Mr. Gower

asked the Minister of Health how much of the £18 million to be spent in this financial year on major new hospital building in England and Wales will be spent on such building in Wales; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Walker-Smith

Of the £18 million for all hospital building, the Welsh share was £1,270,000. Of the £4 million for major schemes, about £400,000 will be spent in Wales. Work is in progress on the major new hospital at Swansea, the development of the Caernarvon and Anglesey Hospital, and the West Wales Hospital, Glangwili, and extensions to Llanfrechfa Grange Mental Deficiency Hospital.
