HC Deb 15 May 1961 vol 640 c98W
50. Mr. Slater

asked the Minister of Health how many hospitals there are in the Tees-side group whose bed capacity is not fully occupied; and why they are under-occupied.

Mr. Powell

Occupancy is 84.9 per cent. and 82.1 per cent in the North and South Tees-side Groups respectively. This is not unsatisfactory. The comparable average for the whole region is 78.8 per cent.
