§ Mr. Wattsasked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will list National Health Service capital projects in the Slough constituency (a) authorised and (b) completed in the periods 1974 to 1979 and 1979 to 1985 and the cost of each project.
§ Mr. WhitneyI am afraid that information is not available centrally in precisely the form requested. Details of capital schemes funded by Oxford regional health authority and carried out over these periods and of the capital programme approved by the regional health authority for 1986–87 to 1993–94 are shown in the table. They include Wexham park hospital which provides the main hospital services for the people of Slough.
