HC Deb 11 July 1972 vol 840 c277W
39. Sir D. Renton

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services, in view of the fact that it has been decided that the Huntingdon and Godmanchester bypass should be built within a few yards of Huntingdon hospital, and of the consequences of this decision on life and work in the hospital, whether he will arrange for the East Anglia Hospital Board to expedite the building of the new hospital which it is proposed to build in Hinching-brooke Park.

Sir K. Joseph

Extra money provided by the Government for hospital building has enabled the East Anglian Regional Hospital Board to start construction of a new hospital this year instead of the mid-1970s as originally intended.
