HC Deb 08 May 1952 vol 500 c61W
90. Mr. G. Thomas

asked the Minister of Health the number of people in Cardiff on the admission waiting lists of the Cardiff Royal Infirmary, St. David's Hospital and the Llandough Hospital, respectively.

Miss Hornsby-Smith

The numbers are 1,863, 161 and 1,318, respectively.

Mr. G. Thomas

asked the Minister of Health whether he is aware that, if people seeking admission to the Cardiff Royal Infirmary pay a fee for prior examination by a specialist, they are able to obtain priority over people awaiting admission for treatment; and whether he will make a statement.

Miss Hornsby-Smith

No, but if the hon. Member will let me have particulars of any case he may have in mind, I will be pleased to make inquiries.
