HC Deb 27 January 1964 vol 688 c19W
71. Mr. George Craddock

asked the Minister of Health if he is aware of the death in hospital of a baby strangled by a defective cot; what action has been taken on this matter; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Barber

The baby who died in this tragic accident was being nursed not in a cot but in a bed with what is called a restrainer; the hospital management committee concerned has issued further guidance.
