HC Deb 15 November 1934 vol 293 cc2127-8
22. Mr. T. SMITH

asked the Minister of Health whether he is aware that at an inquest on the death of K. Fulton in the Medway Institution a witness declared on oath that he had been compelled to sleep on bare boards in the casual ward; and whether, as it is prescribed that beds should be provided in all casual wards, he will say what action he proposes to take to ensure that the Maidstone authorities conform to the regulations?

Sir H. YOUNG

I have made inquiry about this matter and am awaiting a further report. I will then communicate further with the hon. Member.
