75. Mr. David Adamsasked the Minister of Health whether he is aware that certain municipal and voluntary hospitals have instituted alterations in their visiting days and hours, whereby for greater safety in case of air raids the number of visitors will be substantially reduced at such times; and whether he proposes to recommend similar action throughout the country?
§ Mr. ElliotThis is not a matter upon which I have specific information or upon which I should feel it desirable to make a general recommendation to the exclusion of the discretion of the authorities concerned.
Mr. AdamsHas the Minister seriously considered this matter, as many of the leading hospitals in the Kingdom have introduced this principle for safety purposes?
§ Mr. ElliotSurely this is the sort of thing which it is desirable to leave to the discretion of the governing bodies of the hospitals.
