§ 63. Mr. TINKERasked the Minister of Health whether his attention has been drawn to the serious overcrowding at the Lincoln county hospital; and whether he is taking any steps in the matter?
Sir H. YOUNGI have not received any recent information but I have, in any case, no authority to interfere with the administration of a voluntary hospital.
§ 64. Mr. C. BROWNasked the Minister of Health if there is any co-ordination between the public and the voluntary hospitals in Lincoln; and if he can state the number of beds vacant in the public hospital or infirmary during each week in the month of October and the month of November?
Sir H. YOUNGI understand that five members of the city council have been co-opted on to the committee of the voluntary hospital. I have no information as to the second part of the question.
