Mr. McNeilasked the Secretary of State for Scotland how many tuberculosis patients in Scotland, at any recent convenient date, were receiving domiciliary or out-patient treatment, were under observation, or were judged to be potentially infective, respectively; how many tuberculosis patients in these categories were being treated in Glasgow and Greenock, respectively; how many tuberculosis patients in each of these three areas were categorised as priority patients awaiting hospital treatment; and how many of these patients were living in homes of three apartments or less.
§ Mr. J. StuartThere are about 2,700 patients in Glasgow and 88 in Greenock under treatment while living at home. The total number of patients on hospital waiting lists in Scotland at the end of June was 462, of whom 106 were in Glasgow and 47 in Greenock. I regret that the rest of the information asked for is not readily available.
