HC Deb 03 July 1973 vol 859 c62W
Mr. Spearing

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what is the number of teaching hospitals that have at least one geriatric ward, and the numbers and names of those teaching hospitals which do not have this provision.

Mr. Alison

During 1972, 17 out of 21 boards of governors administering teaching hospitals with general district responsibilities had geriatric beds available within the teaching hospital group. No such provision existed in the teaching hospital groups at Leeds, Sheffield, Birmingham and Manchester.
