HC Deb 17 March 1913 vol 50 c686
22. Mr. RUPERT GWYNNE

asked whether the Eastbourne Insurance Committee have made any arrangements, and, if so, what they are, for sanatorium treatment in the neighbourhood for those insured persons who were recommended by the medical adviser for treatment, but who have been unable to obtain it owing to the fact that they were unfit to travel to Colchester or other sanatoria at a distance?

Mr. MASTERMAN

I am informed by the Eastbourne Insurance Committee that insured persons who are unfit to travel either to Colchester or to St. Leonard's are provided with domiciliary treatment. The local authority have also provided dispensary facilities.

Mr. GWYNNE

Am I to understand that there is no local sanatorium treatment?

Mr. MASTERMAN

I said there was domiciliary sanatorium treatment or dispensing facilities. There is no sanatorium within the borough of Eastbourne.

Mr. GWYNNE

Then those who cannot travel cannot have sanatorium treatment at all?

Mr. MASTERMAN

They will receive such treatment as they can receive when they are not able to travel.
