11. Major Lloydasked the Minister of Health whether he has now received the report of the King Edward's Hospital Fund on its hospital costing investigation; and what arrangements he is making for publication.
§ Mr. Iain MacleodYes, Sir. I have now received from both the Fund and the Nuffield Trust their reports on hospital costing, together with a joint 1252 covering statement. At my request the two bodies are arranging to publish the reports as soon as possible, and copies will then be placed in the Library of the House and made available for discussion and consideration throughout the service.
I should like to record my warm appreciation of the very valuable contribution which the two bodies have, by their reports, made to an important and difficult subject.
