§ 24. Mrs. Hartasked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he has read the report of a committee of senior nurses, approved by the Central Health Services Council of England and Wales, on "The Pattern of an In-Patient's Day", and if he will draw its recommendations to the attention of Scottish regional hospital boards.
§ Mr. MaclayI have commended this report to the consideration of hospital authorities in Scotland.
§ Mrs. HartWhile welcoming that reply, may I ask the Secretary of State to pursue the matter with the utmost vigour, since this is a practical hospital reform which could be achieved? Will he ask the regional hospital boards to report to him on what progress they have been able to make?
§ Mr. MaclayThis is clearly an extremely interesting document. The hospital boards have copies of it, and I am sure that they will pay the closest attention to it.
