HC Deb 24 November 1969 vol 792 c9W
71. Mr. James Johnson

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he is aware that, despite the building of the new Royal Infirmary in Hull, there remains an acute shortage of beds in the area; and what steps he is taking to remedy this state of affairs.

Mr. John Dunwoody

The total number of beds in the Hull and East Riding area is sufficient, but the distribution of beds and facilities in the Hull area is unbalanced. The board's programme includes schemes to remedy this.
