HC Deb 05 November 1956 vol 558 c1940
33. Mr. Simmons

asked the Minister of Health which limb-fitting centres are to be moved in the near future.

Miss Hornsby-Smith

Plans are being prepared for new buildings for the Birmingham and Liverpool centres, and it will also be necessary in due course to move the Manchester centre. The hon. Member is aware that my right hon. Friend is also considering the problem of accommodation for the Wolverhampton centre.

34. Mr. Simmons

asked the Minister of Health which of the smaller limb-fitting centres are now to be closed down.

Miss Hornsby-Smith

None at present.

35. Mr. Simmons

asked the Minister of Health if, when limb-fitting centres are moved to another site, he will take trans port and accessibility into consideration in view of the limited mobility of those who use them.

Miss Hornsby-Smith

Yes, Sir.
