§ Mr. Lomasasked the Minister of Health how many pay beds are being made available for private patients in Huddersfield at the new hospital in Lindley, and the new extension to St. Lukes; and if he is satisfied that the allocation is correct.
§ Mr. K. RobinsonNo formal proposals have been received for the designation of pay beds in the new hospital at Lindley, which is not yet in use. 16 pay beds have been approved in the extension to St. Lukes, in replacement of the 16 in accommodation that has been demolished. This is subject to the outcome of my review of policy on pay beds.
