HC Deb 17 April 1964 vol 693 cc113-4W
Mr. Pavitt

asked the Minister of Health how many major operations were performed at Hurstwood Park Hospital in each of the past three years.

Mr. Braine

360, 233, and 421.

Mr. Pavitt

asked the Minister of Health what was the cost per bed per week for 1963 in Hurstwood Park Hospital, including the period during which it was housed within St. Francis Hospital.

Mr. Braine

The latest information available is for the financial year 1962/63 (Hurstwood Park Hospital was closed from 9th September, 1962 to 23rd December, 1962, and the patients were transferred to St. Francis Hospital). The cost per occupied bed at Hurstwood Park was £94 5s. 4d. per week, of which about £52 arose from exceptional expenditure on roof repairs and the renewal of X-ray apparatus.
