NATIONAL HEALTH SERVICE (MEDICAL STORES)

HC Deb 15 July 1949 vol 467 c42W

Mr. Skeffington

asked the Minister of Health what economies have so far resulted from the centralised purchase of medical stores and equipment?

Mr. Bevan

I regret that a precise estimate of savings on central purchase of medical stores and equipment for the National Health Service is not available. If I had to give a broad estimate I should say something like £2 million.
