HC Deb 20 December 1968 vol 775 c520W
Mr. Montgomery

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services why there is a delay in the appointment of a registrar to help in the running of the new obstetric unit as Wordsley Hospital.

Mr. Grossman

Discussions are taking place between the Birmingham Regional Hospital Board and the Department on the staffing of this unit and these will be completed in time for the necessary staff to be appointed before the unit opens. This cannot be before the summer because of the time needed to complete building work.
