HC Deb 23 March 1979 vol 964 c177W
Mr. Raphael Tuck

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will give the reason for the delay between the original decision to start phase three of the Watford general hospital and the contracts being put out to tender.

Mr. Moyle

The cost limit for the scheme was agreed last May, since when work has proceeded on the up-dating of the drawings and on the preparation and printing of the bills of quantities, which provide the essential details for tenderers.
