§ 95. Colonel Stoddart-Scottasked the Minister of Health whether the inaccurate reply given to the hon. Member for Ripon on 5th July, 1951, was based upon information provided by the Leeds Regional Hospital Board; and what steps he intends to take to prevent the House being misled in the future.
§ Mr. Iain MacleodI cannot accept the implications of the Question. Full information from the board was available at the time, and was in fact explained to the House in an amplified reply on 26th July, 1951.
§ 96. Colonel Stoddart-Scottasked the Minister of Health how many of the 191 usable rooms at the Queen's Hotel, Harrogate, are being used by the Leeds Regional Hospital Board; how many by the nurses home and training school; and how many are unoccupied.
§ Mr. Iain MacleodThere are now 189 usable rooms, as structural alterations for the preliminary training school for nurses have reduced the total number by two; the board use 75; the nurses' home has been allocated 36, of which eight are in use, 28 vacant; the preliminary training school has been allocated 59, of which 36 are occupied, two are used as a sick bay and 21 are vacant. The remaining 19 are held in reserve.
