§ Captain Kerbyasked the Minister of Health how many electrical generators in National Health Service hospitals have been installed since mid-December, 1962, as a safeguard against mains power-cuts; by whom these generators were installed; and at what cost.
§ Mr. Powell149 from Government sources. I have no figures for those from private sources. Normally by hospital staff. The cost of installation is not readily identifiable but is small.
§ Dr. D. Johnsonasked the Minister of Health what inquiry he has made into the circumstances of the death of a baby at Wanstead Hospital on Thursday, 2nd January, coincident with an electric power cut; how many hospitals in England and Wales are equipped with emergency generators; and how many are not.
§ Mr. PowellAfter full inquiries by the Board, I have no reason to think that this stillbirth was attributable to the electricity cut. The other information requested is not available.
