§ Mr. Astorasked the Secretary of State for War if something will be done to improve the amenities and appearance of 269W the wards at the Connaught military hospital, Bramshott, especially those in which patients are isolated.
§ Mr. BellengerA considerable amount of redecoration has been carried out at this hospital during the past three months and the appearance of the wards has been greatly improved. The amenities of the hospital as a whole are well up to standard. As regards the last part of the Question, I assume that the hon. Member is referring to the tuberculosis wards; these wards cannot be furnished to the same extent as general wards, because of the risk of infection by dust, and for this reason they inevitably appear less comfortable than the ordinary wards.
