§ Sir R. Russellasked the Minister of Health why the cost of laundering at St. George's Hospital, London, is £2 6s. 9d. per 100 articles laundered, whereas at Guy's Hospital it is only £1 8s. 9d.; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. K. RobinsonHigher transport costs are incurred at St. George's Hospital because the laundry is situated at 237W Wimbledon, but the main reason for the higher costs is the lower output per operative per week as compared with Guy's Hospital. The hospital authority is considering means of increasing productivity at St. George's.
