HC Deb 28 February 1935 vol 298 c1288
27. Mr. MANDER

asked the Minister of Health what powers of oversight he exercises in connection with voluntary hospitals?

Sir H. YOUNG

I have no general statutory power of supervision and inspection in relation to voluntary hospitals.

Mr. MANDER

Is it the practice to make an inquiry when the circumstances seem to require it?

Sir H. YOUNG

The hon. Member will see from my answer that I have no such general powers of inquiry.
