HC Deb 06 July 1914 vol 64 cc832-3
76. Lord CHARLES BERESFORD

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if be is aware that at the Cripples' Hospital and College at Alton 95 per cent. of the cripples who go there are cured, who otherwise would succumb or be cripples for life; and, looking to the amount of good that this hospital does, whether he can see his way to give a State Grant to the hospital and also to create hospitals of a similar character throughout the country?

Mr. LLOYD GEORGE

I am well aware of the brilliant work carried on at the hospital referred to by the Noble Lord. The general question of hospital accommodation is now receiving the attention of His Majesty's Government, and meantime I fear I can make no statement.
