HC Deb 15 March 1960 vol 619 cc84-5W
80. Mr. Hector Hughes

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will make a detailed statement, giving dates and costs of the Government programme for building hospitals in Scotland, and the steps already taken to implement it.

Mr. Maclay

Detailed information is contained in Appendix A to the Civil Estimates 1959–60, Class V, Vote 10; further information about the hospital building programme is published in the Annual Report of the Department of Health for Scotland.

I would also refer the hon. and learned Member to the programme of modernisation of the Scottish teaching hospitals which I announced on 16th November, 1959, in reply to a Question by my hon. Friend, the Member for Aberdeenshire, West (Mr. Hendry). I have nothing further at present to add to this information.
