HC Deb 14 November 1985 vol 86 cc280-1W
Mr. Amess

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what guidelines his Department lays down for the provision of facilities for hospital radios within hospitals.

Mr. Whitney

Health authorities have been advised that radio and other sound facilities providing a choice of five channels should be relayed from central equipment to all bedhead units. It is for individual authorities to decide what facilities should be provided for those who wish to produce programmes locally.
