HC Deb 01 November 1954 vol 532 c14W
99. Brigadier Clarke

asked the Minister of Health why money was spent equipping an operating theatre in St. Mary's Hospital, Portsmouth, in view of the fact that there was insufficient money to provide the necessary staff to man it.

Mr. Iain Macleod

I understand that the new twin operating theatres, which were opened in June last, are in use and that the original theatre which was temporarily closed is likely to be re-opened in the near future.
