§ Sir E. Graham-Littleasked the Minister of Pensions whether, in view of the regulations furnished to ex-service pensioners, which do not name voluntary hospitals in the list of institutions to which the pensioner should be admitted, in cases where the pensioner applies for special treatment lie is allowed to choose treatment in a voluntary hospital without himself being charged for such treatment?
§ Sir W. WomersleyThe Ministry maintains special hospitals for dealing with certain types of war disability. If, however, in the Ministry's view it is not essential that any treatment for which the Ministry is responsible should be given at one of these specialised hospitals, 797W arrangements are made for the man's admission to a civil hospital. In selecting the hospital due regard is paid to all aspects of the patient's interests.
