Major Guestasked the Minister of Health whether he is satisfied that the medical facilities afforded by the London County Council on the recently-built housing estates in the London area are satisfactory; and will he inquire into the case of Mr. Broadstock, of 86, Comber House, Camberwell, S.E.5, who was unable to obtain either medical assistance from the nearest London County Council hospital or an ambulance from the London County Council medical authority at County Hall, when his child was dangerously ill, because he could not find a doctor from whom to get a medical certificate, as a result of which the infant died before the assistance could be obtained?

As regards the second part of the question, I am in communication with the London County Council, and I will1078W inform my hon. and gallant Friend of the result when my inquiries are complete.
