HC Deb 17 July 1959 vol 609 c65W
Mr. Pargiter

asked the Minister of Health what advice is being given to regional hospital boards or teaching hospitals as to the proportion of single-bedded rooms which would be provided in new hospital buildings or extensions.

Mr. Walker-Smith

No general advice has been issued. Individual proposals are examined by my Department and advice is given where necessary according to the different kinds of ward proposed and the various medical and other requirements.
