HC Deb 02 December 1968 vol 774 cc234-5W
70. Mr. Wingfield Digby

asked 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. Snow

This 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.]
