HC Deb 21 December 1893 vol 20 c85
Mr. GODSON (Kidderminster)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War whether he is aware that a large hospital for fever patients (500 in number) is going to be erected within 150 yards of the present National Military Hospital at Woolwich (for 700 patients); whether there is not a better site further west distant from all habitations, and far more suitable owing to the natural formation of the, land; and whether he will take such steps as may be necessary for bringing about an alteration of the site of the proposed new hospital?

* MR. CAMPBELL-BANNERMAN

I have made representations that the War Department objects to the proposed site for the fever hospital, but without success.

MR. GODSON

To whom can appeal be made?

MR. CAMPBELL-BANNERMAN

The Local Government Board. I must not be understood as implying doubts as to the wisdom of the decision arrived at by that, Department. I only say that the representations I made on the part of the War Office were of no avail.
