HC Deb 13 June 1966 vol 729 cc218-9W
Mr. Haseldine

asked the Minister of Health on what site the new district general hospital in Bradford, mentioned in the hospital building programme, will be built; how many beds will be provided in the first and second stages; how many beds are envisaged in the next state of further development; and whether the hospital will be completed at the third stage.

Mr. K. Robinson

The Regional Hospital Board propose to build the new hospital on and adjacent to the site of St. Luke's Hospital and discussions are proceeding locally. The present proposal is to provide about 600 acute beds in the first and second phases, with supporting services, and about 250 acute beds in a third phase. It is proposed to add maternity and acute psychiatric beds later. This programme will be subject to review as planning progresses.
