§ 44. Mr. T. WILLIAMSasked the Minister of Health whether he is now in a position to make any statement indicating what steps he is likely to take with regard to the Onslow Report on Voluntary Hospitals?
Mr. CHAMBERLAINI have already indicated that, in the present financial position, I cannot recommend any grant from public funds towards the cost of extensions of voluntary hospitals, but I am glad to be able to say that, since the Report of the Commission was received, the position has improved and a considerable number of new beds have been provided or are in course of provision.
§ Mr. WILLIAMSAre we to understand from the answer which he has given that it is the right hon. Gentleman's intention to do nothing at the moment with regard to the recommendations of the Onslow Report?
