§ 32. Mr. Blenkinsopasked the Minister of Health what additional hospital accommodation is being provided for the treatment of chronic bronchitic patients.
§ Mr. TurtonThe possibility of allocating exclusively for this purpose some hospital beds formerly used for tuberculosis is being considered by all regional boards, but no figures are yet available.
§ Mr. BlenkinsopWill the right hon. Gentleman say when he expects to be able to have any figures? I think he will recognise the importance of getting this programme forward before the autumn and particularly the winter.
§ Mr. TurtonI will try to get some figures, perhaps in the early autumn. If the hon. Gentleman will put down a Question, I will try to deal with it then.
