HC Deb 29 March 1971 vol 814 c252W
Mr. Elystan Morgan

asked the Secretary of State for Wales what specific plans he has for increasing the number of hospital beds available in Wales.

Mr. Peter Thomas

Provision of beds cannot be considered in isolation. Other factors such as, for example, staff and supporting diagnostic and out-patient facilities leading to a greater efficiency of bed use are equally important. My Department and the Welsh Hospital Board keep them all under continual review.
