HC Deb 08 August 1972 vol 842 c315W
27. Sir Gilbert Longden

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will arrange that all hospitals display at their entrances neon signs indicating that they either do or do not accept emergency casualties.

Mr. Alison

No. Hospital authorities have been advised that hospitals which do not provide a service might display a notice to this effect, indicating the nearest accident and emergency department. The kind of notice to be displayed is a matter for hospital authorities.
