Dr. Morganasked the Minister of Health (1) what complaints have reached his Department as to the conditions existing in 944W the mental hospital, Severalls, near Colchester, Essex; how many changes of medical officers have taken place there recently, and on what grounds; why the medical officer recently insisted on a notice calling a trade union meeting being taken down from the notice board; and whether he will cause an inquiry to be made into the administration of this institution recently;
(2) why the late matron of the mental hospital, Severalls, near Colchester, Essex, who was awarded a decoration for good nursing work, resigned her position as matron of this institution; and whether he is satisfied with existing conditions in that institution?
§ Mr. E. BrownI am making inquiries and will inform my hon. Friend of the result as soon as possible.
