HC Deb 26 October 1966 vol 734 cc179-80W
Mr. Oswald

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether, in view of the jury's rider to the verdict arising from the death of six patients in the Edinburgh Royal Infirmary, he will instruct the respective hospital boards to ensure that the said jury recommendations be fully implemented.

Mr. Ross

The guidance issued on 12th October, and referred to in my reply of 24th October to my hon. Friend, the Member for West Lothian (Mr. Dalyell)—[OFFICIAL REPORT; Vol. 734, c.110]—fulfils the jury's recommendation in regard

to piped gas installations. General guidance has been issued previously on inspection and maintenance of plant and on certain special risks, and I am considering whether this needs to be supplemented.
