§ Sir E. Graham-Littleasked the Minister of Health why he has decided to reverse the decision not to close the Gallowhill Hall Hospital, Morpeth, Northumberland, and proposes to transfer the inmates to premises in Whitchurch, Shropshire, previously used as an American Evacuation Hospital; whether he is aware that this accommodation consists of huts of a character wholly unsuitable 92W to receive tuberculous patients; and whether he will reconsider this decision.
§ Mr. BevanThe hospital is to be closed because it is an unsatisfactory unit. No. 4 Polish Hospital at Whitchurch already accommodates 400 tubercular patients, and I cannot accept the suggestion that it is unsuitable for the purpose.
