HC Deb 30 January 1961 vol 633 c80W
86. Sir A. Hurd

asked the Minister of Health if he has considered the annual report of the Reading and District Hospital Management Committee for the year ended March last which discloses a rapid increase in patients awaiting treatment because of the limited sources of the Royal Berkshire Hospital; and what extensions, in addition to the ophthalmic block already approved, he will now authorise.

Mr. Powell:

Yes; I have now asked the regional hospital board to go forward with the next phase of development, which comprises the services essential for renewing and expanding this hospital.
