HC Deb 11 March 1963 vol 673 cc116-7W
Mr. Dempsey

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if, with a view to augmenting consultant staff, improving medical staffing, and developing opportunities for medical research and the application of modern mechanical techniques, he will incorporate a teaching hospital in the Lanarkshire hospital building programme.

Mr. Noble

No. These objectives do not depend on the use of a hospital for the teaching of medical students.

Mr. Dempsey

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will give the starting dates for the major and minor projects in the Coatbridge and Motherwell area listed in the Hospital Plan for Scotland.

Mr. Noble

I cannot add to what is said in the Hospital Plan (Cmnd. 1602). The Western Regional Hospital Board will announce the starting date for each project when the progress of its programme enables it to do so.
