HC Deb 04 March 1977 vol 927 cc348-9W
Mr. Michael McNair-Wilson

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services when work is likely to start on the community hospital designated to serve the Newbury-Thatcham area; what services the hospital will offer; and when he expects it to be open.

Mr. Moyle

A new hospital at Newbury is planned by the Oxford Regional Health Authority for the mid 1980s at the earliest. The regional health authority is unable to give this project greater priority owing to more pressing needs in other parts of the region.
