asked the Secretary of State for Wales if he will list new hospitals constructed in Wales during the last five years; whether he has any plans to build new hospitals during the next five years; and if he will make a statement.

Major new hospitals or extensions have been completed at Gurnos, Withybush and Newport—Royal Gwent hospital—and are proceeding at Bangor, Rhyl and Newport—St. Woolos hospital. As previously announced, major new building is planned to start in the next five years at Bridgend, Morriston, Wrexham and Llanelli. Decisions on other developments during the period—which, as in the past, will include a number of smaller extensions, renovations and replacements—will be made in due course.
