As I said in my Estimates speech on 22 October 1987, provision has been made for a continuation of this project. However, consideration of the staffing and equipping needs appropriate to the range and type of services which will be provided has not yet been finalised. It is, accordingly, not possible at this time to say precisely when the new facility will be opened.
