HC Deb 16 April 1969 vol 781 c276W
Mr. Whitaker

asked the Secretary of State for Wales which of the criticisms of the report of the investigation of Ely Hospital have not yet been rectified.

Mrs. White

The Committee of Inquiry into allegations of ill-treatment of patients and other irregularities at Ely Hospital, Cardiff, made 45 recommendations and action has been initiated or completed on 38 of them. Of the remainder, three involve the provision of new buildings or hostel accommodation which will take some time. The others relate to inspection of hospitals, co-operation between the three branches of the N.H.S. administrative structure and the investigation of complaints: these my right hon. Friend is discussing with my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Social Services.
