HC Deb 24 July 1968 vol 769 c130W
106. Mr. Galbraith

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland when he expects work on the paraplegic unit at Philipshill Hospital, Glasgow, to begin.

Mr. Ross

The Western Regional Hospital Board plans to improve the facilities at Philipshill for 24 paraplegic patients by up-grading and conversion of existing accommodation at a cost of £42,000. It is planned to start this work in the current financial year. The Regional Board is not yet able, taking account of other urgent needs, to fix a starting date for the major purpose-built unit which it plans to provide later.
