HC Deb 06 February 1967 vol 740 c1105
45. Mr. Webster

asked the Minister of Health for how long were the operating theatres in Weston-super-Mare General Hospital closed in 1966, and for what reason

Mr. Snow

The operating theatres were closed from 27th November to 19th December, 1966, so that equipment could be installed to regulate the humidity. The work was done as quickly as possible.

Mr. Webster

Is not this exceedingly alarming and is it not a fact that what might have been a dangerous incident shows how great is the need for a new hospital in Weston-super-Mare?

Mr. Snow

There is a Question on that subject later.
