HC Deb 19 November 1956 vol 560 cc1365-6
25. Dr. Stross

asked the Minister of Health how many beds are available in Stoke-on-Trent for the treatment of pulmonary tuberculosis; and whether sufferers from pneumoconiosis and other disease of the lungs are now to have additional beds provided in the former fever hospital at Bucknell.

Miss Hornsby-Smith

I am informed by the regional hospital board that there are 46 beds at the City General Hospital, and that 24 additional beds will become available this week at Bucknell Hospital solely for persons suffering from pneumoconiosis.

Dr. Stross

May I thank the hon. Lady for that Answer?
