§ Mr. Abseasked the Secretary of State for Wales whether he will place in the Library a copy of the report commissioned by the Welsh authority technical and service organisation from Ove Arup and Partners on the structure and soundness of the Heath hospital, Cardiff; what action he is taking to remedy the existing hazards of the roof of this hospital; and whether he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Nicholas EdwardsThe interim reports submitted by Ove Arup and Partners to WHTSO are relevant to matters which are presently the subject of litigation and I am not in a position to place them in the Library. Remedial measures to residential blocks are in progress and the roofs are being dealt with by the health authority as part of its maintenance and repair programme. The position is being closely monitored by the health authority with the advice of WHTSO.
