§ MR. CAREWOn behalf of the hon. Member for North Monaghan I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland if he is aware that in some Irish workhouses the infirm inmates have to lie on trestle bedsteads with straw mattresses and pillows, and are without properly qualified nurses or attendance; and if he will direct an inquiry into the condition of these institutions.
§ MR. WYNDHAMIf the hon. Member will kindly give particulars of the cases he refers to, inquiries will be made into the matter. The Board is doing all in its power to ameliorate the condition of the sick and infirm in workhouses.
