§ Mr. Rookerasked the Secretary of State for Social Services (1) how many, and what percentage of, hospitals in each region offer unrestricted visiting hours in their children's wards;
(2) how many, and what percentage of, hospitals in each region offer living-in accommodation for mothers.
§ Dr. VaughanThis information is not available, but unrestricted visiting by parents and the provision of living-in accommodation for mothers have long been recommended by the Department, and I believe that most hospitals now follow these practices.
