HC Deb 22 May 1975 vol 892 c585W
Mr. John H. Osborn

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if she will make a statement about the alterations required for the lifts in the Hallam Hospital, Sheffield, and indicate the reasons for this, the cost, and the delay.

Dr. Owen

Remedial work to correct a constructional fault in a bank of eight lift shafts at the Hallamshire Hospital, Sheffield, has been completed. Work on one further shaft remains to be done. The remedial work is being carried out by the contractor at his own expense during the course of construction and the extent to which this might delay current progress of the building has not been identified.
