HC Deb 17 December 1962 vol 669 c127W
10. Mr. R. Thompson

asked the Minister of Health what response he has had to his plan for longer and more flexible visiting 'hours in hospitals.

Mr. Powell

The response has been good; all but a few hospitals now have daily visiting; many long-stay hospitals allow visiting by arrangement at any reasonable time; and more general hospitals are experimenting with unrestricted visiting. My inquiries continue where restrictions still seem unreasonable.
