HC Deb 17 November 1967 vol 754 c213W
Mr. Monro

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what plans he has for the construction of special units for patients suffering from spinal injuries; where they will be constructed; and when they will be completed.

Mr. Ross

The Western and South-Eastern Regional Hospital Boards are each planning the provision of a new specialist paraphlegic unit, at Philipshill Hospital, Glasgow, and the Princess Margaret Rose Hospital, Edinburgh, respectively; but, taking account of other urgent needs, they have not yet been able to fix starting dates for these schemes.
