HC Deb 28 January 1980 vol 977 cc476-7W
Mr. Skeet

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services whether he will make available a site development plan for Bedford hospital, south wing.

Sir George Young

The Department does not hold such a plan. My hon. Friend may like to approach the North-West Thames regional health authority direct.

Mr. Skeet

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services (1) what consultations have been undertaken on the building of a new pharmacy at Bedford hospital, south wing; and whether local medical staff recommended the project;

  1. (2) if, in view of local complaints affecting its siting at Bedford hospital, south wing, he intends to proceed with the building of a new pharmacy;
  2. (3) what he estimates will be the cost of the proposed new pharmacy of Bedford hospital, south wing, and the number of additional staff likely to be involved in running it.

Sir George Young

The proposal to build a new pharmacy at Bedford general hospital has not yet been referred to the Department and my hon. Friend may like to raise this matter at this stage direct with the North-West Thames regional health authority.
