§ Mr. CHIOZZA MONEYasked the Secretary to the Treasury whether there is sufficient local accommodation at present for the tuberculous patients under the care of the Northamptonshire Insurance Committee; and, if not, whether he will state what steps, if any, have been, or are being, taken by local authorities in Northamptonshire to avail themselves of part of the sanatorium capital Grant.
§ Mr. MASTERMANI understand that the local accommodation is not sufficient for the treatment of all the tuberculous insured persons recommended by the Northamptonshire Insurance Committee. The committee are not, however, precluded from making arrangements for their admission to institutions in other areas, and I understand that the Northamptonshire County Council are now considering a scheme for the provision of additional accommodation locally.
