HC Deb 15 November 1960 vol 630 c19W
53. Mr. Hannan

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he is aware of the high infant mortality rate in Glasgow compared with other Scottish cities; and what immediate action he will take to provide more maternity beds there.

Mr. T. G. D. Galbraith

The regional hospital board expects to open 90 additional beds next year, and is continuing to explore other possibilities of providing additional beds urgently, in advance of the completion of the new Yorkhill Maternity Hospital.
