Health authorities are currently undertaking a comprehensive review of all capital projects and assessing the nature and relative priority of each. We have not yet been able to notify regional hospital authorities of the planning assumptions they should adopt for the years 1976–77 to 1978–79. When these are notified the regional hospital authorities' judgment of priorities, and the resources likely to be available, will determine, subject to my right hon. Friend's approval, the extent of their health building programmes for those years.
§ Mr. David Priceasked the Secretary of State for Social Services when she expects to be able to approve the establishment of day hospital facilities for 20 patients at the Mount Hospital, Bishopstoke, in the borough of Eastleigh, Hampshire.
§ Dr. OwenThe plans of the Hampshire Area Health Authority (Teaching) provide for a start in 1976–77 on geriatric day hospital for up to 20 patients subject, of course, to the availability of resources and the authority's judgment of priorities.
