§ Mr. K. RobinsonPlans for increasing the number of hospital beds to serve the Stockport area are under consideration in the current review of the hospital building; programme. I am aware that there has been some difficulty in filling certain medical posts but I have no doubt that the Board and Hospital Management Committee can be relied on to take all possible action to deal with these difficulties and any other staffing problems which may arise.
