§ Lord Jenkins of Putneyasked Her Majesty's Government:
Whether designated hospitals have been informed if under any agreement with the United States Government they may be required to discharge their patients so as to be able to receive American military casualties.
§ Baroness TrumpingtonThe Government are making contingency plans for the best use of all National Health Service resources in an emergency, and these will cover the treatment in United Kingdom hospitals of both British and other NATO military casualties.
The United States is however establishing its own contingency hospitals, which would be activated in a crisis; these will be equipped, manned and financed by the United States Government and would reduce the burden on the National Health Service. No United Kingdom hospital is designated for exclusive use for American military casualties.
