§ Mr. MorganTo ask the Secretary of State for Wales on how many occasions the regional burns unit for Wales at St. Lawrence hospital, Chepstow, has been closed to admissions from(a) 1 April 1991 to 1 April 1992 and (b) since 1 April 1992.
§ Mr. Gwilym JonesThe operational responsibility for the burns unit at St. Lawrence hospital is a matter for the unit's management. However, I understand that the burns unit has not been closed in the period 1 April 1991 to present, although on one occasion the dependency of patients on the burns unit was such that for a 24-hour period—2 November—arrangements were made for resuscitation cases to be taken to the Frenchay burns unit at Bristol.
