§ 25. Mr. SIDNEY ROBINSONasked the Secretary of State for War whether it is intended to establish and maintain a military hospital in South Wales at Neath or elsewhere; and whether, before a decision is arrived at, consideration will be given to the fact that there is a school of medicine already existing at Cardiff which would be of great value to such hospital if situated in its neighbourhood?
§ The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the MINISTRY of PENSIONS (Colonel Sir James Craig)I have been asked to reply to this question. The Ministry of Pensions is opening a hospital at Neath almost immediately for the reception of disabled ex-Service men. Every effort has been made to establish a hospital in or near Cardiff, but it is found that no suitable accommodation is available.
§ Mr. ROBINSONIs it the intention of the authorities to disband the hospital erected at Chepstow?
§ Sir J. CRAIGI do not think so. But I am not prepared to answer the supplementary question. If the hon. Member can give me any information I shall be glad to consider it.
