PRAMS IN MARCH
(N.Z.P. A.-Reuter—Copyright) LONDON, May 7. Hundreds of babies clutching flags were out in their prams in London today to help fight for Government funds for the hospital where they were born. About 5000 parents and children demonstrated in Trafalgar square for the restoration of a £60,000 annual grant to St. Theresa’s Hospital, which is run by nuns. After the rally, a
Conservative member of Parliament, Sir Cyril Black, handed in a petition containing 56,000 signatures at the residence of the Prime Minister (Mr Wilson). The grant to the privately - owned hospital made 50 of its 70 beds available to non-paying patients in the south London suburb of Wimbledon. Now the local hospital board believes enough beds will be available in a new hospital nearby.
