HC Deb 01 March 1983 vol 38 cc122-3W
Mr. McMahon

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether plans have been made to evacuate patients from Southern General hospital, David Elder infirmary and the Elder cottage hospital, Glasgow, in the event of a nuclear conflict.

Mr. John MacKay

Responsibility for the planning of home defence measures for these hospitals rests in the first instance with the Greater Glasgow health board. At present, plans do not exist for the evacuation of patients from these hospitals.
