Tuan Haji Mohd. Ariff Bin Suradi asked the Minister for Law and National Development whether the St. Mark's Hospital site can be reserved as a site for a hospital only and that no residential flats be allowed to be built there.

The Minister for Law and National Development (Mr E. W. Barker): Mr Speaker, Sir, the St. Mark's Hospital at Joo Chiat Place is on 28,874 square feet of private land presently zoned Clinic and Health Centre in the Master Plan, while the surrounding area is zoned Residential. No change in zoning is required if the site is developed for a hospital or a clinic. However, the existing development surrounding the area is mainly residential. My Ministry will consider any proposal for redeveloping the said land on its merits.
