HC Deb 21 February 1955 vol 537 c100W
70. Wing Commander Hulbert

asked the Minister of Health how many hospital beds are available within a five-mile radius of the county borough of Stock-port; and how many this is per thousand of the population.

Mr. Iain Macleod

Within a five-mile radius from the centre of the county borough there were on 31st December, 1954, 4,011 available hospital beds. Figures of the population within that area, which includes a substantial part of the City of Manchester, are not readily ascertainable.
