§ Sir J. Rodgersasked the Minister of Health how many people were injured in a road accident in the village of Mere-worth on 3rd January, 1966; to what hospital they were taken; what treatment was given to them; why they were discharged so rapidly; and if he will make an investigation into the accident facilities at this hospital.
§ Mr. K. RobinsonSix people were injured and one killed; the six injured were taken to West Kent General Hospital, Maidstone; three who were found after X-ray not to need further treatment were sent home; the other three were admitted as in-patients. One was discharged on 5th January after a fracture had been set, the second on 6th January after recovering from concussion, and the third on 11th January. I have no evidence that any were discharged prematurely, or that the accident facilities at this hospital, which have recently been improved, are inadequate.
