HC Deb 17 July 1952 vol 503 cc171-2W
87. Mr. Sorensen

asked the Minister of Health approximately what number or proportion of hospitals have introduced a system of daily or frequent periods of visitation of relatives and friends to patients and in particular child patients.

Mr. Iain Macleod

I have at present no comprehensive information on the frequency of visiting patients in hospitals. I have, however, instituted a special inquiry on the visiting of children and will inform the hon. Member when the results are known.
