HC Deb 20 December 1945 vol 417 c1695W
Commander Galbraith

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland the number of beds available in sanatoria for persons suffering from tuberculosis; and the number of such persons awaiting admission to sanatoria.

Mr. Buchanan

The total number of beds available for tubercular patients is approximately 6,700, but it is estimated that 500 of them cannot be used through shortage of nursing staff. At 30th September the number of persons on the local authorities' waiting lists was 1,703.
