§ Sir J. Gilmourasked the Secretary of State for Scotland what new hospital buildings are now planned for the area served by the South Eastern Regional Hospital Board; what are the anticipated starting dates for construction; and what existing hospital buildings will become redundant as a result.
§ Mr. RossI would refer the hon. Member to the proposals set out in the Hospital Plan for Scotland (Cmnd. 1602) as amended by the revision published in 1964. The revised plan is at present under review and I shall be announcing the results in due course. Final decisions on the closure or future use of existing hospital buildings are not taken until fairly near the time when the new accommodation is due to come into use.
