§ 55. Mr. Whitlockasked the Minister of Health what steps have been taken in the Nottingham hospitals to implement the provisions of the Platt Report on the Welfare of Children in Hospital, which relate to the access of mothers to children in hospital and the provision of accommodation in hospital for mother and child.
§ Mr. BraineThere have been improvements in visiting hours but hospital authorities need to make further progress towards the aim of unrestricted visiting. Facilities for admission of mothers with their children are generally inadequate at present owing to accommodation difficulties.
