HC Deb 10 June 1964 vol 696 cc70-1W
66. Dr. A. Thompson

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what representations he has received on the proposal to transfer major accident cases from the Dunfermline area to Kirkcaldy; what replies he has sent; and whether, in view of the concern felt by employees at Rosyth Dockyard at this move, he will make a statement.

Mr. Noble

I have received representations from the Dunfermline Trades Council to which a reply is being sent today. The South Eastern Regional Board, in line with the general policy on the provision of accident services, has decided in principle that the main accident unit in Fife should be at Kirkcaldy. The scope of the accident services which will continue to be provided at Dunfermline is to be further considered.
