HC Deb 17 December 1968 vol 775 c355W
Mr. Montgomery

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he is aware of the delay in opening the new obstetric unit at Wordsley Hospital; and what action he intends to take to expedite the matter.

Mr. Ennals

Because the building work is taking about four months longer than expected and is not yet finished the Regional Hospital Board will not be able to open the unit next Spring, as originally planned, but hopes to do so by the Summer.
