§ 33. Mr. GROVESasked the Minister of Health whether he is aware of the practice in some areas that before a patient recommended for treatment in a rate-aided institution is conveyed by ambulance the public assistance officer requests the old age pension book; and will he state whether this practice is with his knowledge and consent?
§ Sir K. WOODThe answer to the first part of the hon. Member's question is in the negative, but if he has any particular instances in mind and will let me have details I shall be happy to make inquiries.
