To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland what proposals he has received from the Lanarkshire health board for a new district general hospital in the Motherwell district.

Mr. Michael Forsyth

On 3 November Lanarkshire health board issued a consultative document on its acute services strategy. The options include establishing a new district general hospital in the Motherwell district. The board will not finally decide before the end of the consultation period on its preferred option, which will then be submitted to my right hon. and learned Friend for consideration.
