HC Deb 25 March 1975 vol 889 c76W
26. Mr. Freud

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if she is satisfied with the procedure for redirecting casualty out-patients from one hospital to another.

Dr. Owen:

Full round-the-clock accident and emergency services are not provided at all hospitals. Hospitals which do not provide a full service normally refer casualties who present themselves to the nearest hospital with an accident and emergency department.
