HC Deb 05 July 1977 vol 934 c523W
Mr. Wigley

asked the Secretary of State for Wales what is the number of times the pneumoconiosis medical panel for Wales has held boards in Gwynedd during the past 12 months; and at what locations these were held.

Mr. Orme

I have been asked to reply.

Pneumoconiosis medical boards have examined 243 people on 17 days during the past 12 months at two boarding centres in Gwynedd at Bangor and Blaenau-Ffestiniog. In addition, 37 people who were unable to travel were seen by boards in their own homes and in hospitals in Gwynedd.
