§ 60. Mr. John Wellsasked the Secretary of Stale for Social Services if he will arrange for a clearing house to be set up for hospital beds in the area of Kent centred on Maidstone and reaching from Pembury to the Medway Towns and Charing.
§ Mr. CrossmanAdmission arrangements are a matter for the hospital authority concerned. I understand that arrangements have recently been made whereby if a general practitioner seeks an emergency admission at the West Kent General Hospital in Maidstone and4W no bed is available there it is the hospital's responsibility to find a bed elsewhere in the area.
