§ 37. Mr. Douglas Marshallasked the Minister of Health whether he is aware that the Press is not now admitted to meetings of the local hospital committees west of Bristol or in Cornwall; and, in view of the fact that these local hospital committees were provided so that they could form a liaison with the public, he will take action to remedy this grievance.
§ Mr. BevanThe function of hospital management committees is the day-to-day control and management of their hospitals; and while I hope they will take 1019 every opportunity of keeping the closest contact with public opinion, the admission of the Press to their meetings is a matter for their own decision.
