§ 66. Mrs. Braddockasked the Minister of Health how far he has given advice or instruction to hospital management committees to require the assurance from 10W local fire authorities that satisfactory fire-exits are provided in the additions to hospital buildings or new hospital buildings.
§ Mr. Walker-SmithThe attention of hospital authorities has been drawn to a number of publications on fire precautions, including a study by a panel appointed by the Nuffield Provincial Hospitals Trust, which gives advice on the provision of exits and urges early consultation with fire authorities. Hospital authorities are also required to consult planning and byelaw authorities.
