HC Deb 30 January 1963 vol 670 cc184-5W
Mrs. Hart

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland how many hospitals in Scotland which admit children permit daily visiting and unrestricted visiting respectively; and how many have accommodation for mothers of young children to stay in hospital with them.

Mr. Noble

Of the 110 hospitals which admit children 60 permit daily visiting; 35 more permit unrestricted visiting. Fourteen hospitals have accommodation specifically set aside for mothers to stay close to their children; and in most of the others special arrangements can be made to accommodate mothers if necessary.
