§ Mr. Milneasked the Minister of Health if, in view of the difficulties being encountered by doctors in the North-East in dealing with casualties arising from underwater activities, he will arrange for a decompression chamber to be sited in a hospital in the North-East.

It is doubtful whether need for such facilities is extensive enough to justify the additional provision of recompression facilities in a National Health84W Service hospital but the position will be examined in the light of ascertained demand and available resources.
