HC Deb 25 November 1968 vol 774 c32W
Mr. William Price

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what is the present total estimated cost, including land, of the new Walsgrave Hospital, Coventry; and what was the original estimate.

Mr. Crossman

The present total estimated cost of this hospital, including land, is £8.87 million. The total estimated building cost first shown for this project in the Civil Estimates for 1963–64 was £6.54 million, giving a total estimated cost at prices then ruling, including land, of £6.69 million. These figures exclude the estimated cost of the psychiatric unit now being planned.
