HC Deb 21 July 1909 vol 8 c590W
Mr. HAZLETON

asked the Chief Secretary what action has been taken by the constabulary authorities to insure that in future members of the force suffering from infectious diseases, such as tubercular consumption of the lungs, shall not be allocated to the common ward of Steeven's Hospital to the danger of other occupants of the ward?

Mr. BIRRELL

I am informed by the constabulary authorities that there has always been a separate ward in the hospital for ordinary infectious diseases. A special ward has now been set apart for tubercular congestion of the lungs alone.
