§ 48. Mr. Ledgerasked the Minister of Health whether he is aware that the erection of a new out-patients' department at Oldchurch Hospital will involve 5W the demolition of a staff tennis court there, that the recreational facilities for the staff at the hospital are very limited, and that the cost of a new tennis court elsewhere in the hospital grounds for the use of the nursing staff will be about £700; and whether he will include the cost of a new tennis court as part of the development scheme.
§ Miss PittI understand that the provision of a new tennis court has been under discussion between the hospital management committee and the regional hospital board, which is at present considering the committee's request that the board should meet the cost. I cannot comment further until its decision is known.
