HC Deb 07 February 1966 vol 724 c3W
16. Mr. Heffer

asked the Minister of Health what are the reasons for a short age of beds at the hospitals in the north east of Liverpool; and what steps are being taken to remedy the situation.

Mr. K. Robinson

Hospital provision in this particular area has not kept pace with the great increase in population in recent years. The new Fazakerley Hospital, on which work has started, will increase the number of beds serving the area by 650.
