§ Mr. McInnesasked the Secretary of State for Scotland what long-term hospital building projects in Glasgow are being considered by the Western Regional Hospital Board.
§ Mr. MaclayThe major hospital building projects in the Western Region82W which have been approved and are to start building in the near future are Yorkhill Maternity Hospital, the Western Infirmary Radiotherapy Unit and the Glasgow Royal Infirmary Radiotherapy Unit.
In addition, the Board are preparing schemes, which will be considered for inclusion in the programme from 1960–65, for maternity units at the David Elder and Samaritan hospitals, a new out-patient, casualty, orthopædic and X-ray block at the Western Infirmary, a new out-patient department at the Victoria Infirmary, a major extension at the Royal Infirmary and a major extension of the Dental Hospital. Other projects at earlier stages of consideration will be considered for inclusion in the programme from 1965 onwards.
These schemes are at a preparatory stage only; how and when they will be given effect will, of course, depend on the circumstances ruling when they reach the stage for final decision.
