§ 58. Mr. W. Griffithsasked the Minister of Health on what date he gave 6W approval for the building of a new hospital at Wythenshawe, Manchester, before a site was decided; what was the original estimated cost; what extra costs have been incurred consequent upon the change of site; what is now the estimated cost of the complete hospital; and when it is expected that the whole project will be completed.
§ Miss Pitt:A new hospital at Wythenshawe was approved in principle in 1955. The first estimate for the complete project was £2½ million; the present one is just under £3 million. No appreciable extra costs have been incurred consequent upon the change of site. My right hon. Friend hopes that the whole project will be completed by 1967
