HC Deb 14 February 1966 vol 724 c160W
55. Mr. Hugh Jenkins

asked the Minister of Health at how many hospitals parents are now permitted to visit their children on the day of an operation, and at how many this is forbidden.

Mr. K. Robinson

Detailed information is not available, but I have recently further consulted the Standing Medical Advisory Committee and the Central Health Services Council, and on their advice shall shortly be advising hopsitals that there should be no general rules restricting visiting by parents on the day of operation, or on any other day.
