Mr. Alfred Morris
asked the Minister of Health what further progress has been made in respect of unrestricted visiting by parents to children in hospital.
Mr. K. Robinson
My latest information is that, on the basis of the definitions I have previously given, 694 out of the 878 hospitals now admitting children have adopted the practice of unrestricted visiting by parents, and a further 65 have very generous visiting hours. This represents considerable progress towards my aim of securing general adoption of the practice, but I shall continue to watch the position closely.
