The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State, Department of Health and Social Security
(Baroness Trumpington)
Building work is due to start towards the end of this year to convert the South Wing of St. Thomas's Hospital, part of the original fabric dating from the 1820s-30s, to accommodate services at present being provided by St. John's Hospital for Diseases of the Skin, the Phipps Respinaut Unit and the Dreadnought Seamen's Hospital. The new accommodation will also house a lithotripter, improved catering facilities and engineering services. Work is due to be completed in 1988.
