Mr. Park
asked the Minister of Health how many children were being treated in adult wards of hospitals in England and Wales on the latest date for which statistics are available; and if he will make a statement.
Mr. K. Robinson
3,237 children under 12 in March, 1965. Of these, 878 or fewer than 5 per cent. of all children in hospital were actually with adults; the rest were separated from them in side wards or cubicles.
