§ 78 and 79. Mrs. Braddockasked the Minister of Health (1) on what grounds a bed has been allocated to Mr. Cecil Baddeley in a Southport hospital; and from what disease he is suffering;
(2) if he will investigate the reason why Mr. Cecil Baddeley is occupying a bed in a Southport hospital during certain days only, in view of the number of other 144W local patients in need of urgent medical treatment there who have been refused admission.
§ Mr. Iain MacleodI am informed that Mr. Baddeley has not been admitted to this hospital as a patient or occupied a hospital bed or even been attended by hospital staff. Temporary arrangements were made for the use of an empty room as a court room to which he was brought daily, but these did not in any way affect the admission of patients.
