HC Deb 23 July 1929 vol 230 c1094W
Mr. FREEMAN

asked the Minister of Health whether with a view to greater efficiency and economy, he will consider a scheme for the co-ordination of the health services of the country, particularly in reference to the national, municipal, Poor Law, voluntary, and private and other hospitals?

Miss LAWRENCE

The coming into force of the Local Government Act, 1929, and particularly the transfer of the work of the guardians to the larger public health authorities, will afford an opportunity for securing better co-ordination of the health services of the country, and my right hon. Friend proposes to watch the effect of this Measure before considering further schemes having that object in view.
