HC Deb 01 April 1965 vol 709 cc276-7W
Mr. Ronald Bell

asked the Minister of Health what proportion of the estimated cost of the extensions to the Chalfont and Gerrards Cross Hospital will be contributed from money raised by local efforts; and if he is aware that such contributions materially assist the work of the National Health Service.

Mr. Loughlin

About three-fifths of the cost of the new out-patient and physiotherapy department at the Chalfont and Gerrards Cross Hospital will be met from money raised locally by the Hospital's League of Friends. I am grateful for this generous contribution which has allowed these improvements to be made earlier than would otherwise have been possible.
