§ 6. Mr. Vaughan-Morganasked the Minister of Health how many hospitals now have geriatric units; and what steps his Department is taking to promote the establishment of future units.
§ Mr. CrookshankThere are at present 67 such units established, many of which serve several hospitals. Guidance on the treatment of the chronic sick, including the development of these services, has been sent to hospital authorities to encourage the expansion of the necessary facilities as resources permit, and I will send my hon. Friend a copy.
