§ Mr. Lubbockasked the Minister of Health what is his policy on the building of special isolation units for the treatment of infectious diseases.
§ Mr. SnowI am advised that where practicable separate units should be provided in association with larger hospitals for the treatment of communicable diseases and those cases of cross-infection occurring within the hospital which require specialised isolation accommodation. Different considerations apply to the provision of units for the treatment of smallpox.
