§ 37. Colonel MILDMAYasked the Minister of Health whether he is taking any action, in accordance with the recommendations of the interim Report of Lord Cave's Committee, with reference to the disposal, in the interests of hospitals, of the surpluses of approved societies?
§ Sir A. MONDA copy of the Report has been sent to every approved society with a covering letter, in which the society is urged to give its serious consideration to the question of using part of its disposable surplus (if any) in making payments towards the cost of the treatment of its members in hospitals. The right hon. and gallant Member is, of course, aware that this is only one of many aditional benefits which it is open to societies to provide.
