§ Sir Edward Brownasked the Secretary of State for Social Services whether the maternity unit, Royal United Hospital, Bath, will be included in the 1975–76 programme.
§ Dr. OwenRegional health authorities will prepare their building programmes for 1975–76 having regard to the amount of capital allocated to them and the relative priorities of their proposed building schemes. At the present time I cannot say how much capital will be allocated to Wessex Regional Health Authority, which, in consultation with the South Western Regional Health Authority, is responsible for health services in Bath. It is, therefore, not possible to say whether the authority will be able to include this maternity unit in its 1975–76 programme.
