HC Deb 09 May 1946 vol 422 cc115-6W
32. Mr. Ernest Davies

asked the Minister of Health whether he will pro- vide for additional accommodation for maternity cases in the Greater London area, including Middlesex, in view of the suspension of the L.C.C. evacuation scheme.

Mr. Bevan:

The scheme mentioned Is still operating, though it is not able to meet all the demands made on it. Additional maternity accommodation is being provided in Greater London where the building stringency permits and the necessary midwives and domestics can be found, but more beds are already available than can be staffed.
