HC Deb 14 June 1971 vol 819 c25W
Mr. Golding

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services how many day patients were treated privately at the central out-patients department of the North Staffordshire Royal Infirmary, between 1st January and 31st May, 1970; and by what authority they were treated.

Mr. Alison

The hospital is covered by the general authorisation which was issued on the coming into operation of Section 2 of the Health Services and Public Health Act, 1968, and which, in effect, continued existing authorisations.
