§ Major BREESEasked the Minister of Pensions whether he is aware that Ernest H. Hunt, late private No. 185,695, Royal Air Force, Blandford, was removed from 2615W Plas Tudno Hospital, Llandudno, to the Ministry of Pensions Hospital, Bangor, on the 31st May last and was on the following day certified as insane and removed to the North Wales Counties Asylum at Denbigh as a pauper patient chargeable to the Bangor and Beaumaris Union; whether this ex-soldier is still classified as a pauper patient; and, if so, will he take immediate steps to have him transferred to the category of the service class patients?
§ Mr. MACPHERSONI have not yet received full particulars of the case referred to, but instructions have been given that, if the man's condition is in any degree attributable to his War service, he shall at once, in accordance with the usual practice, be classed as a service patient. I will communicate further with my hon. and gallant Friend as soon as I receive the necessary information.
