- the date on which Samarès Ward is scheduled to reopen;
As announced on Tuesday 19 July, Samares Ward is due to reopen on Wednesday 10 August.

Further time is required to provide a comprehensive breakdown of the costs for the re-opening of Samares Ward . The response will also seek to provide a comparison against historic and future costs.
