§ Mr. Lomasasked the Minister of Health if he will list those regional hospital boards or hospital management committees who ceased to recruit trained staff through lack of money; and what action he proposes to take in the matter.
§ Mr. K. RobinsonInformation about the employment policies of all hospital authorities is not available centrally but I am not aware that any has stopped all such recruitment. A number have had to modify proposals for staff expansion and I am aware of a few cases where there has been some reduction of establishments but it is for the hospital authorities to decide priorities within the resources available to them.
