§ 74. Mr. Arthur Lewisasked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he is aware of the difficulties which will be caused to patients and nursing staff at Forest Gate Maternity Hospital by the withdrawal of London Transport's service 278A on Sundays; and if he will arrange for ambulance or other facilities to be made available at the hospital on Sundays.
§ Mr. SnowThe ambulance service will continue to provide transport for patients whenever this is medically necessary. I understand that the hospital management committee have decided to make urgent representations to the London Transport Executive to arrange a special bus service on Sundays at visiting times.
