HC Deb 02 February 1983 vol 36 cc138-9W
27. Mr. Ancram

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he is satisfied with the present provisions for adult cardiac surgery in Edinburgh.

Mr. John MacKay

An additional cardiac surgery theatre is now being built at the Royal infirmary of Edinburgh. This is likely to be completed in June 1984 and when it comes into use facilities for adult cardiac surgery in Edinburgh will be at the level recommended in the Kay report on cardiac surgery in Scotland.
