§ Mr. Nicholas Edwardsasked the Secretary of State for Wales what is the child population within the area to be served by the new Withybush general hospital: and what is the tourist bed ratio.
§ Mr. Peter ThomasTaking Pembrokeshire as the area served, approximately 17,000. There is no specific bed provision for tourists since they create no significant increase in the demand for beds during the summer months.
§ Mr. Nicholas Edwardsasked the Secretary of State for Wales whether the Welsh Hospital Board has yet prepared plans to provide additional medical beds for children at the new Withybush Hospital, as recommended by Professor Gray in his report to the board.
§ Mr. Peter ThomasThe plans for the new Withybush hospital provide for 10 beds for children. Professor Gray's report looked to the long-term developments in the Dyfed area and as yet there are no plans for additional beds based on that report.
