HC Deb 18 October 1966 vol 734 c25W
Mr. Antony Buck

asked the Minister of Health what consultations he had before providing that income derived from the work performed in industrial therapy units should go directly into Exchequer accounts; and if he will state his reasons for having made this alteration.

Mr. K. Robinson

This change, which provides also that the cost of running these units should be charged to the Exchequer, was made after normal consultation with hospital officers; the alteration was intended primarily to achieve uniformity in hospital accounting.
