Nurses Prize Fund, Weymouth

HC Deb 03 November 1949 vol 469 cc77-8W

Sir E. Graham-Little

asked the Minister of Health what sum has been allocated

figures are available, however, and I give them below:

from the Central Hospital Endowments Fund to date, to the Sanderson-Wells Nurses Prize Fund, Weymouth and District Hospital.

Mr. Bevan

As I informed the hon. Member in reply to his Question on 20th October, the prize fund referred to no longer exists as such, and there can therefore be no question of allocation of funds to it. In administering their endowment funds, however, the West Dorset Management Committee have been asked to bear in mind the objects of the old prize fund, and for the time being are awarding an annual prize of £5. I have asked them to review the matter in the light of the considerable sums they have received from the Central Fund.
