Mr. Clinton Davis

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services (1) when he expects work on the building of the proposed Homerton hospital in Hackney to start;

(2) if he has had any meetings or correspondence with the relevant area or regional health authorities concerning the development of Homerton hospital in Hackney; and if he will make a statement relating to the purport of such meetings or correspondence;

(3) if he will make a statement on the estimated cost of building the proopsed Homerton hospital in Hackney.

The Department is considering the North-East Thames regional health authority's proposals for this development. The RHA envisages a start on site in 1980 and estimates the total cost at about £17 million.
