HC Deb 24 February 1949 vol 461 c2008
37. Mr. Renton

asked the Minister of Health how many patients are on the waiting list to enter Peterborough Memorial Hospital for necessary operations; how many of them have been waiting for more than six months; and how many beds were empty at the latest convenient date.

Mr. Bevan

I am making inquiries and will write to the hon. Member.

Mr. Renton

Will the right hon. Gentleman bear in mind that this matter is urgent and that there are a number of serious cases waiting for operation?

Mr. Bevan

Yes, Sir.
