HC Deb 06 June 1921 vol 142 c1529W
Mr. HAYDAY

asked the Minister of Pensions whether definite treatment is being given to all patients in the Ministry of Pensions hospital at Ewell; if not, on what grounds is it being withheld; whether suitable occupational treatment is available for all patients in this hospital whose relatives desire it; and, if not, whether it will be provided forthwith?

Mr. MACPHERSON

The answer to the first part of the question is in the affirmative. Appropriate treatment is given to each patient by a staff of eight medical officers. Occupational treatment is also available at this hospital, and is provided when a medical officer, having regard to the circumstances of individual cases, prescribes that form of treatment.
