asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will make a statement about the current situation on funding for phase I of the Bolton general hospital development.

Mrs. Currie

Building of phase I of Bolton general hospital will start, as planned, in September 1989. Associated capital funds have been earmarked for this. Discussions on the funding of running costs as from 1993, when the new hospital will be commissioned are continuing between the north western regional health authority and Bolton district health authority.
