§ Mr. Awberyasked the Secretary of State for Air how many Royal Air Force aerodrome hospitals give medical assistance to the civil inhabitants in the locality; and, in view of the benefits which accrue to these people who live in many cases long distances from a large hospital, if he will take steps to extend this service.
§ Mr. W. J. TaylorAll the seven Royal Air Force hospitals in the United Kingdom take National Health Service inpatients if there are beds to spare, and the number of these patients treated has been rising steadily. We shall continue to help as much as we can in this way.
