HC Deb 03 July 1990 vol 175 c542W
82. Mr. Cousins

To ask the Secretary of State for Health when he next proposes to visit the new ward block now under construction at the Royal Victoria infirmary, Newcastle upon Tyne.

Mrs. Virginia Bottomley

My right hon. and learned Friend the Secretary of State has no plans at present to visit the new ward block under construction at the Royal Victoria infirmary. I understand that he lay the foundation stone for the ward block, which at a cost of £30 million represents the Northern region's largest capital project to date, in October 1988.
