HC Deb 13 May 1971 vol 817 cc152-3W
Mr. Barry Jones

asked the Secretary of State for Wales how many steelworkers and allied workers used the mobile X-ray facilities recently at the British Steel Corporation location at Shotton.

Mr. Peter Thomas

5,894.

Mr. Barry Jones

asked the Secretary of State for Wales how many mobile X-ray facilities there are currently in operation in Wales; if he now proposes to close down this service; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Peter Thomas

The Welsh Hospital Board is continuing the mobile X-ray service. There are two mobile units at present. I am informed that one is sufficient for current requirements. One will therefore be withdrawn at the end of July.
