14. Mr. W. Shepherd

asked the Minister of Health how long those suffering from tuberculosis now have to wait before entry to a sanatorium.

Mr. Bevan

The period may vary from a few weeks to several months in exceptional cases, according to the circumstances of particular sanatoria and individual patients.

20. Lieut.-Colonel Clifton-Brown

asked the Minister of Health what alternative arrangements have been made for receiving tuberculosis patients into hospital since he has ordered the reduction of 18 beds at the White Lodge Emergency Hospital, Newmarket.

Mr. Bevan

I understand that the West Suffolk County Council are arranging to open beds at Sudbury.
