Mr. Albert Robertsasked the Minister of Health if, before accepting the decision to build the 500-bed hospital for the mentally subnormal by the Leeds Regional Hospital Board at Bar Lane, Wakefield, he will call for an independent report on why the proposed hospital is not to be built contiguous to the present hospital at Oulton.
