HC Deb 29 May 1922 vol 154 c1711W
Mr. ALLEN PARKINSON

asked the Minister of Pensions if there is serious dissatisfaction among the patients at the Ministry of Pensions Hospital at Moss Side, Maghull, near Liverpool, owing to conditions being imposed upon them which do not apply at other hospitals at Knotty Ash. Mossley Hill, or Lower Buck Road, Liverpool;; and whether he will have inquiries made into the regulations at present in operation, and if he finds that they are more stringent or oppressive than at other Ministry of Pensions' Hospitals mentioned, will he have them modified and the patients given the same freedom and liberty as all the hospitals mentioned?

Major TRYON

The conditions as regards passes out of hospital, which I gather my hon. Friend has in mind, are as favourable at Maghull as at the other hospitals named, except in so far as special precautions have to be taken to safeguard the patients treated there against risks arising out of the unfortunate disability, epilepsy, from which they suffer.
