36. Mr. Blenkinsop

asked the Minister of Health what communication he has sent to hospital authorities regarding the imposition of a charge on all patients for board and lodging.

Mr. Iain Macleod

None, Sir.

Mr. Blenkinsop

While thanking the Minister, may I ask whether he will give an undertaking that he does not propose to introduce any such charges within the next few months?

Mr. Macleod

I have answered the Question on the Order Paper.
