§ Mr. Juddasked the Minister of Health what is the extent of overspending by the Portsmouth Group Hospital Management Committee; and what implications this will have in terms of reduced hospital facilities in the area.
§ Mr. K. RobinsonOn the present trend of expenditure the Portsmouth Group Hospital Management Committee would overspend its budget by £30,000 this financial year. Ways of reducing overheads and making similar economies without affecting services essential to the patient are being considered, in order to contain expenditure within the budget.
