HC Deb 01 February 1979 vol 961 c529W
Mr. George

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he is satisfied with progress in the preparation for phase four of the Walsall District General Hospital; and if he is in a position to name the commencing date.

Mr. Moyle

Planning by the West Midlands regional health authority, although well advanced, is not yet complete. Substantial enabling works are expected to start at the end of this year followed by the main construction early in 1981.
