§ Mr. T. Smithasked the Secretary of State for War whether he is aware that up-patients at Botleys Park Hospital are not allowed to receive visitors in the hospital, but are compelled to go to the gate to see them; that there is no accommodation at the gate where the patients can converse with their visitors and, being in the heart of the country, there is no café or other convenience within two or three miles; and whether he will give instructions that better arrangements shall be made for the up-patients to receive visitors?
Mr. M. MacDonaldI have been asked to reply. I am informed that all patients are allowed to receive visitors in the hospital on visiting days, which are two in every week, and proper arrangements are made for their reception.
