§ 70. Mr. Wingfield Digbyasked the Secretary of State for Social Services why he continues to defer the rebuilding of Dorset County Hospital, Dorchester, which is due to have started; when building will now commence; and what money he plans to spend on existing hospitals in the county in the meanwhile.
§ Mr. SnowThis hospital has been largely rebuilt internally, as well as extended, in the past six years. As regards the timing of the proposed new district general hospital for Dorchester I would refer the hon. Member to my reply to his Question on 30th April, 1968 which still represents the position.—[Vol. 763, c. 992.]
