HC Deb 20 February 1968 vol 759 c74W
Mr. William Edwards

asked the Minister of Health, in view of the problem concerning availability of hospital treatment in Wales, whether he will consider appointing additional general practitioners in areas where cottage hospital facilities exist, charged with developing and maintaining an emergency surgical service.

Mr. K. Robinson

No. Accident and emergency services are best developed at hospitals where consultants and full supporting services are available.
