Mr. ALFRED T. DAVIESasked the Minister of Pensions on what date it is hoped to have established the proposed clearing houses for patients seeking admission to hospitals; on what date the proposed new clinics will be established and at work; and what arrangements have already been made or contemplated in connection with these clearing houses and clinics?
§ Mr. MACPHERSONThe clearinghouse system has been in actual working operation in all regions for some time past. It is proposed to establish 160 general clinics, 56 of which are at present in process of being set up in some of the larger towns. The remainder will be proceeded with as rapidly as possible.
