HC Deb 27 April 1972 vol 835 c361W
Mr. David Steel

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland by what date he expects completion of a new hospital on the Huntlyburn site to serve the Border counties.

Mr. Gordon Campbell

The new hospital at Huntlyburn will be built in two phases, the geriatric unit commencing in approximately two to three years time, followed by the general hospital in band V. The hospital has a firm place in the major hospital building programme but it is too soon to give a completion date.
