HC Deb 31 January 1978 vol 943 c113W
Mrs. Renée Short

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services why urgent work on the kitchens at Royal Hospital, Wolverhampton, has been delayed; and when this work will commence.

Mr. Moyle

I understand that the scheme is proceeding according to programme. An order was placed on 24th January 1978 and work on site is expected to start shortly.

Mrs. Renée Short

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what proposals he now has to relieve the pressure on Wolverhampton hospital experienced since the closure of Cosford Hospital.

Mr. Moyle

The West Midlands Regional Health Authority will note any additional pressure and make appropriate adjustments to future capital and revenue allocations if it deems it necessary.
