HC Deb 15 November 1954 vol 533 c6W
73. Mr. Carr

asked the Minister of Health how many mental hospital beds are available in the county of Surrey; how many people are on the waiting list for these beds; and how the size of this waiting list has changed over the last three years.

Mr. Iain Macleod

About 15,000 such beds are available in Surrey; there is no waiting period for certified patients but voluntary patients are subject to slight delay; there has been no significant change in the waiting position over the last three years.
