HC Deb 14 December 1970 vol 808 cc219-20W
Mr. Barry Jones

asked the Secretary of State for Wales what is the number of paediatricians serving in the Salsney, Hawarden, Shotton and Conah's Quay area of Flintshire; if he is satisfied with the provision of paediatricians, in view of the rising population of the area; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Peter Thomas

Two paediatricians, one from Rhyl and one from Wrexham serve the areas listed by the hon. Member, and the services of paediatricians from neighbouring counties can also be called upon if necessary. I have been assured that the areas needs are adequately covered at present.
