I am not so aware. All the information I have goes to indicate that no discrimination takes place whether as regards admission to voluntary hospitals or to delays in obtaining beds there.
If the Deputy is aware of any cases where such discrimination is alleged I would be grateful if he would bring the facts to my notice for investigation.
