HC Deb 05 March 1969 vol 779 cc135-6W
Mr. Gardner

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what plans he has for a new plastic burns unit in the Sheffield region; when this unit will be provided; and whether it will be located in the Nottingham area.

Mr. Crossman

The Sheffield Regional Hospital Board are at present considering what improved provision for plastic surgery and burns treatment should be made in Nottingham. In Derby, provision for burns treatment will be included in a scheme at the Royal Infirmary which it is hoped to start in the period up to 1971–72. In Sheffield, a burns unit will be included in a scheme at the Northern General Hospital which is in the first list of those to start after 1971–72.
