§ 24. Brigadier Raynerasked the Minister of Health what is the latest available total of non-medical and non-nursing administrative staff now employed in hospitals as compared with the figures for each of the previous five years.
§ Mr. BevanI would refer the hon. and gallant Member to the reply I gave to the hon. Member for Carlton (Mr. Pickthorn) on 20th April.
§ Brigadier RaynerDo those figures afford an explanation of the gigantic, fantastic and swelling costs of the National Health Service?
§ Mr. BevanIf the hon. and gallant Member will read the answer I have given he will see how utterly irrelevant his supplementary question is.
