HC Deb 19 December 1966 vol 738 c201W
Mr. Fowler

asked the Minister of Health when work on the extension to The Wrekin Hospital, Wellington, Shropshire, will be completed; and why it is behind schedule.

Mr. K. Robinson

Work is expected to be completed by the end of the month. Some defects in the enginering services are being rectified.

Mr. Fowler

asked the Minister of Health whether he will make provision for the treatment of minor casualties at The Wrekin Hospital, Wellington, Shropshire, so as to obviate the delays and financial waste involved in taking such cases to Shrewsbury.

Mr. K. Robinson

Minor injuries are treated in Wellington, temporarily at the The Wrekin Hospital but normally at the Wellington and District Hospital, which will be accepting these cases again in the new year.
