HC Deb 22 February 1994 vol 238 c145W
Mr. Wigley

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales what is the latest estimated date for starting construction work on the new East Dwyfor and North Meirionnydd community hospital at Porthmadog; and what is his target date for opening the new hospital.

Mr. Gwilym Jones

The planning time scale for this new hospital scheme is a matter for the Gwynedd community NHS trust—shadow. Subject to satisfactory completion of the health building procedures, the trust currently anticipates a construction start in October 1995 with the hospital opening towards the end of 1997.
