HC Deb 07 November 1967 vol 753 c90W
Mr. More

asked the Minister of Health what progress has been made in finalising the site for the proposed new district hospital in the Wrekin area; and whether preliminary planning has now been put in hand.

Mr. K. Robinson

Investigation by the Birmingham Regional Hospital Board of the two sites proposed for the hospital by the Development Corporation for Dawley New Town has shown that neither is entirely suitable. They have accordingly asked the Development Corporation whether they can propose alternatives. Other preliminary planning will proceed when there is greater certainty about the size of overspill population to be received in the area.
