§ 35. Mr. Molsonasked the Minister of Health how much was spent upon equipping Northlands Maternity Home, Ems-worth; why it is not to be used for that purpose; and for what purpose it is intended to use it.
§ Mr. BevanThe sum of £2,085 was spent in equipping this Home. The Portsmouth Hospital Management Committee postponed the opening of the Home. The South-West Metropolitan Regional Hospital Board hope to decide at their next meeting whether to confirm this action or to arrange for the immediate opening of the Home.
§ Mr. MolsonHow did it come about that this hospital was equipped before a firm decision had been arrived at about how it had to be used?
