HC Deb 27 October 1949 vol 468 cc181-2W
82. Mr. Osborne

asked the Minister of Health if he is aware that the Sheffield Regional Hospital Board informed the Town Clerk of Louth last February that estimates were being obtained for carrying out work necessary to reduce the smoke nuisance at the Louth County Infirmary; that no actual steps have been taken to abate this smoke nuisance; and if he will look into the matter and have something done forthwith.

Mr. Bevan

The main proposals are at present awaiting a report from a consulting engineer. Meanwhile, I am informed that certain adjustments have been made in the plant at the hospital which have effected substantial fuel economies and should reduce the smoke.
