HC Deb 26 February 1948 vol 447 c356W
82. Mr. P. Wells

asked the Minister of Health if he will revert to his original decision and allow the installation of a modern sputum sterilising plant at Keycol Hospital, Sittingbourne, where antiquated and inefficient plant is in use at present.

Mr. Bevan

Approval in principle was given on 11th February, and subject to technical examination formal authorisation will follow.

83. Mr. P. Wells

asked the Minister of Health if, in view of the large area served and the long-standing need, he will approve the provision of a barrier ward at Keycol Hill Hospital, Sittingbourne.

Mr. Bevan

I am not satisfied that this is the most urgent need to which the necessary materials should be put.
