HC Deb 11 June 2003 vol 406 c967W
Mrs. Iris Robinson

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland when the location of a second specialist elective surgical centre in addition to Lagan Valley Hospital will be confirmed. [116976]

Mr. Browne

In my announcement of 24 February 2003 on Developing Better Services, in addition to a protected elective centre at Lagan Valley Hospital, I said that the new acute hospital to the north of Enniskillen will be designed to include a protected elective centre. I also announced that the current proposals for a protected elective facility at South Tyrone should also be taken forward.
