HC Deb 29 January 1953 vol 510 c144W
Mr. J. J. Astor

asked the Minister of Health whether arrangements to enable some thoracic surgery to be performed at Didworthy Chest Hospital, South Brent, have now been made; and when the new thoracic surgery unit at Tehidy Sanatorium will come into use.

Mr. Iain Macleod

Building work is in progress on the new unit at Tehidy, and steps are being taken to make the additional appointment on which the development of thoracic surgery there and at Didworthy depend; but it is not yet possible to say when the arrangements will come into operation.
