HC Deb 20 December 1985 vol 89 cc354-7W
Mr. Pendry

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will list all new hospitals which have opened since May 1979 or are due to open over the next 18 months, indicating the first date on which approval for each scheme was given.

Mr. John MacKay

Details, in respect of projects funded from the central building programme, are as follows. Comprehensive information on locally funded schemes is not held centrally. The total bed complement is shown but it should be noted that not all beds were necessarily brought into use in the given years. Many of the beds provided are replacements for outdated facilities elsewhere and are not additions to the overall complement:
