HC Deb 23 November 1973 vol 864 cc561-2W
Mr. Elystan Morgan

asked the Secretary of State for Wales how many beds there are currently in National Health Service hospitals in Wales, expressed in terms of every 10,000 of population; and how this figure compares with that for England.

Mr. Peter Thomas

The latest comparable figures available are for December 1972. These show 93 beds per 10,000 population in Wales against 90 in England.
