HC Deb 03 March 1966 vol 725 cc360-1W
86. Sir W. Anstruther-Gray

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland by what date the planning consultant for the Borders will report to him on the siting of the new Border Hospital to replace Peel Hospital; and how long after that date the new hospital will be completed.

Mr. Ross

Advice on the siting of the hospital will be included in the overall report on the Western Borders which the planning consultant will be asked to submit within 18 months. It is not yet possible to forecast a starting or completion date for the hospital.
