HC Deb 02 December 1968 vol 774 c240W
Mrs. Renée Short

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what proposals he has to make hospital beds available for the termination of pregnancies in areas where gynaecologists are consistently declining to operate the provisions of the Abortion Act 1967.

Mr. Ennals

It is for the Regional Hospital Boards in consultation with the gynaecologists concerned to take what action they consider necessary to ensure that a service is provided to meet all reasonable requirements for treatment under the Act.
