§ Mr. William Edwardsasked 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 ThomasIt 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.
