asked the Minister of Health in view of the Report, A Hospital Plan for England and Wales, Command Paper No. 1604, for the building of 90 new and 134 substantially remodelled hospitals, when he now proposes that the redevelopment of the Central Middlesex and Willesden General Hospitals will start.

Works to the value of about £280,000 at both hospitals are in progress or expected to start shortly. Redevelopment will, as far as can be foreseen, start after 1970–71.
