HC Deb 06 February 1951 vol 483 c180W
34. Mr. N. Macpherson

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland by what percentage he has instructed regional hospital boards to cut down their expenditure on consultant and administrative services, respectively.

Mr. McNeil

No such instructions have been issued. The regional boards' budgets for next year are still under examination and any reductions will relate to specific economies and not to an arbitrary percentage.
