HC Deb 18 March 1968 vol 761 c34W
Sir D. Kaberry

asked the Minister of Health on what date the forward medical aid units within the Leeds Regional Hospital Board area were disbanded; what has happened to their equipment; and if he will make a statement with regard to the future maintenance of forward medical aid units, in view of their important part in casualty evacuation plans.

Mr. K. Robinson

The plans of the Leeds Regional Hospital Board to set up Forward Medical Aid Units in wartime have not been changed, and no equipment associated with the Units has been disposed of. In accordance with national policy, the Regional Hospital Boards are preserving their wartime plans, but are discontinuing training.
