HC Deb 10 April 1972 vol 834 cc131-2W
Mr. Golding

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services how many consultant gynaecologists use the facilities of the North Staffordshire Maternity Unit for private patients; and how many private patients have been treated there in the last year.

Mr. Alison

There are three consultant gynaecologists working at the North Staffordshire Hospital Centre, all of whom may admit private patients there. One private maternity patient and 177 private gynaecological patients were admitted to the City General Hospital, Stoke-on-Trent, during the last 12 months, and 127 private gynaecological patients were admitted to the North Staffordshire Royal Infirmary during the same period.
