HC Deb 10 July 1972 vol 840 cc246-7W
Mr. Farr

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will arrange to take steps to provide adequate emergency treatment services at Market Harborough General Hospital.

Mr. Alison

I understand that patients who require treatment for minor emergency conditions are seen at the hospital by a general practitioner. Those with more serious emergency conditions are referred to accident and emergency departments at Kettering or Leicester, and I have seen no evidence to suggest that these arrangements are inadequate.
