§ Dame Irene Wardasked the Minister of Health on what grounds he approved the postponing of the building of a children's clinic on the Whitley Lodge Estate, 151W Whitley Bay, until 1970, having regard to the fact that six months ago it was a number one priority.
§ Mr. LoughlinI am informed that two new clinics were built in the Whitley Bay area in 1955 and 1962 and a temporary clinic opened in 1964, and that the Northumberland County Council decided, following a review in mid-1965 of their capital programme, to postpone the Whitley Lodge Estate scheme on the grounds that priority should be given to the provision of clinics in areas where no such facilities existed.
