Dr. Dickson Mabon
asked the Secretary of State for Scotland when additional maternity beds will be available in Rankin Memorial Hospital, Greenock.
Mr. Galbraith
As indicated in the White Paper Hospital Plan for Scotland, the Western Regional Hospital Board hopes to be able to start this scheme in the period up to 1965. It will announce the actual date when it is able to do so.
Dr. Mabon
Is the Minister aware that not long ago he gave me an Answer saying that this hospital would be provided for in the financial year 1962–63? May I ask when this hospital will actually be built?
Mr. Galbraith
All that I can say is that the regional hospital board intends to start the scheme in the period up to 1965.
