HC Deb 27 July 1950 vol 478 c118W
92. Brigadier Mackeson

asked the Minister of Health if he will make a statement on the death of Winton Hogben at Lingfield Epileptic Colony; and if he has taken steps to ensure that supervision has been improved.

Mr. Bevan

I have no jurisdiction over this voluntary institution but I understand that the medical superintendent feels there was inadequate supervision of this patient and has strengthened the rules governing supervision of patients in bathrooms.
