§ 103. Mr. CHARLES EDWARDSasked the Minister of Health whether his attention has been called to the closing of certain wards and curtailment of the out-patient department of the London Hospital; and whether he proposes to take any steps to provide adequate facilities for medical treatment for the people of East London?
§ Mr. PARKERThe answer to the first part of the question is in the affirmative. As regards the second part my right hon. Friend can make no statement until the Government have had an opportunity of considering the Report of Lord Cave's Committee, which is now before them, but he would point out that there is accommodation for emergency cases available in the Whitechapel and other infirmaries in East London.
