HC Deb 25 November 1969 vol 792 c42W
Mr. William Edwards

asked the Secretary of State for Wales whether land has now been purchased, and planning permission sought, for the building of a new care hospital in North-West Wales; when work will start on the building; and when the hospital will be ready for occupation.

Mr. George Thomas

It is assumed that the Question refers to the proposed new district general hospital to be located at Bangor. Land has not yet been purchased, but a site is allocated for hospital purposes in the town plan; planning permission will be sought as soon as appropriate. The hospital will take about four years to complete, but no firm starting date can yet be given.
