HC Deb 01 May 1961 vol 639 c78W
25. Mr. G. Thomas

asked the Minister of Health when Mr. Jolliffe, of Knole Street, Grangetown, Cardiff, who is nearly blind, may expect to be admitted as a patient to the eye ward of Cardiff Royal Infirmary; and whether, in view of the fact that people who see consultants privately get speedier admission to this ward, he will make a statement concerning the general delay in cases of this sort.

Miss Pitt

In 4 to 5 months; admission of patients, whether previously seen privately or not, depends on the relative urgency of the case; the additional beds recently opened at Lansdowne Hospital should reduce the waiting time.
