HC Deb 29 April 1948 vol 450 c75W
85. Mr. Haire

asked the Minister of Health if he is aware that as a result of the recent closing of several maternity homes in the High Wycombe area many expectant mothers have to make difficult journeys to the nearest clinic several miles away; and if he will take steps to improve the situation.

Mr. Bevan

Yes. I have approved an extension to the Borough Council's maternity home, on which work should begin shortly, and the County Council are urgently considering further provision at Amersham.
