HC Deb 11 April 1960 vol 621 c89W
55. Mr. G. Thomas

asked the Minister of Health whether he is aware that people in South Wales who suffer burns have to be taken to Chepstow Hospital for skin grafting; and whether, in view of the hardships this involves, he will take steps to establish equal facilities nearer the heavily populated area of South Wales.

Miss Pitt

Highly specialised units of this kind must of necessity serve very wide areas. The possibility of a more suitable location for the unit will however be considered in connection with the long-term development of hospital services in South East Wales.
