HC Deb 22 October 1912 vol 42 c1933W
Mr. WEIGALL

asked the Secretary to the Treasury if he will state how many approved sanatoria there are in Lincolnshire and where they are situated?

Mr. BURNS

My right hon. Friend has asked me to reply to this question. I have approved temporarily of the use of beds at the Lincoln City Hospital for the treatment of cases of tuberculosis, and arrangements have been made for a temporary phthisis clinic at the office of the medical officer of health of the city. A suggestion is under consideration that the county and county borough councils in Lincolnshire should combine with a view to the provision of one sanatorium for the whole geographical county, but no permanent sanatorium has yet been provided.
