§ Mr. Fred Evansasked the Secretary of State for Wales if he will, in view of the hospital closures in the Rhymney Valley and the distances to be travelled by patients through difficult terrain and heavy traffic flows to the nearest casualty 4W stations under the reorganised health service, cause the Welsh Office to make a feasibility study of the introduction of a helicopter service; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Peter ThomasI am satisfied that road ambulance services will satisfactorily meet the needs of the patients concerned.
