HC Deb 18 May 1944 vol 400 c353W
Colonel Rayner

asked the Minister of Health what is the shortage in Devon of accommodation for tuberculous patients; and whether the necessary provision can be expedited.

Mr. Willink

At 3rst March last the number of tuberculosis cases on the waiting list for institutional treatment in the County of Devon, including Exeter and Plymouth, was 62. Works are at present proceeding as quickly as prevailing conditions allow and, it is estimated, will add about 90 beds to the existing accommodation.
