asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will state the total sum allocated, in respect of the hospital building programme, to the South East Regional Hospital Board for each of the financial years 1961–62 to 1964–65, and the amount allocated by the regional board for each of those years in respect of rebuilding for the Edinburgh Royal Infirmary and the Western General Hospital and extensions for the Victoria Hospital, Kirkcaldy, and the Randolph Wemyss Hospital.
The allocations for 1961–62 and the provisional allocations for 1962–63 are as follows:
| — | 1961–62 | 1962–63 |
| £ | £ | |
| South-Eastern Region | 668,000 | 1,497,000 |
| Edinburgh Royal Infirmary— | ||
| Re-building | Nil | Nil |
| Additional accommodation required in connection with this re-building | 90,000 | 100,000 |
| Western General Hospital—Out-Patient Department | 5,000 | 40,000 |
| Victoria Hospital, Kirkcaldy, Phase II | 40,000 | 750,000 |
| Randolph Wemyss Hospital, Buckhaven | 25,000 | 100,000 |
Allocations have not been made for subsequent years, but it is expected that the two Fife projects will be substantially complete before any major expenditure is incurred on the Royal Infirmary or the Western General Hospital in Edinburgh.
