§ 2. Mr. Storeyasked the Minister of Health if he has considered the report of the West Manchester Hospital Management Committee upon their transport scheme for industrial workers attending the hospital out-patients department; and whether in view of the saving of manhours to industry achieved, he proposes to extend the experiment to other areas.
§ Mr. BevanI am arranging for a report on this scheme to ascertain whether equal savings could be secured by other means.
§ Mr. StoreyIs the right hon. Gentleman aware that this decision will give great encouragement to people interested in the scheme which, by the co-operation of management committees, local authorities and industry, has saved 6,000 industrial man-hours?
§ Mr. BevanThis is a very imaginative and enterprising scheme by the local people responsible, and I am examining it with very great interest.
