HC Deb 14 December 1954 vol 535 c116W
83. Mrs. Mann

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland the extent of the increase in the charge per patient at Swiss Sanatoria since 1951; and what variation there has been in the diet since then.

Mr. J. Stuart

There has been no significant variation in the charges since 1951. Although visiting doctors and the resident Red Cross Welfare Officers are satisfied that the diet is adequate, they have from time to time made suggestions to the sanatoria authorities with the object of bringing the type of food and methods of preparation more nearly into line with Scottish customs.

84. Mrs. Mann

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland to give separate figures for the cost per patient at the Leysin and the Davos Sanatoria, respectively; and if the diet is the same in each.

Mr. J. Stuart

The cost per patient at each sanatorium is approximately 29s. 6d. per day. The diets are similar.
