Mr. Cyril Smith

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what facilities have been available since July 1977 in the Manchester region generally, and in particular, at Booth Hall Children's Hospital, for children to receive surgery for the curing of cleft palates and forked tongues.

Six beds are provided for this purpose at Booth Hall Children's Hospital; facilities are also available as required at Royal Manchester Children's Hospital for orthodontic work, and at Withington Hospital for paediatric and plastic surgery work associated with such treatment.
