HC Deb 21 December 1955 vol 547 c337W
86 and 87. Lady Tweedsmuir

asked the Minister of Health (1) how many incubators for premature babies are available under the National Health Service; and which types are most in use;

(2) which areas in the United Kingdom are not adequately equipped with incubators for premature babies, available under the National Health Service.

Miss Hornsby-Smith

I will, with permission, answer this and Question No. 87 together. My right hon. Friend regrets that detailed information about numbers and types is not available, but he is not aware of any areas in the United Kingdom where arrangements for the care of premature babies—including incubators where necessary—are inadequate.
