HC Deb 25 January 1949 vol 460 c114W
130. Miss Herbison

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland which hospitals have been added to the list of teaching hospitals since June, 1946.

Mr. Woodburn

The bulk of medical teaching in Scotland is catried on in a few large general hospitals in the four centres, Aberdeen, Dundee, Edinburgh and Glasgow, and the main teaching hospitals remain as in June, 1946. There is, however, an increasing use of other hospitals for teaching purposes both in the four centres and outside and, in the interests of the hospital service as well as teaching, I am anxious to encourage this extension. Medical Education Committees to advise the Regional Hospital Boards on this and other aspects of the provision of facilities for clinical teaching are about to begin work in each region.
