§ Sir T. Beamishasked the Minister of Health if he will give an estimate of the number of patients expressed as a pro- 180W portion of those occupying beds under the National Health Service during the latest convenient period who were in receipt of National Assistance and the number who were still receiving education.
§ Mr. K. RobinsonI regret that the information asked for in the first part of the Question is not available. It is estimated that, excluding sub-normal hospitals, about 5,800 of the 13,000 children in hospitals in England and Wales on a day early in 1965 were receiving education there.
