§ Mr. Juddasked the Minister of Health what is the number of general hospitals and of mental hospitals in England, Wales, and Scotland which will make use of young volunteers provided by International Voluntary Service, Community Service Volunteers and similar organisations during 1967; and what action he will take to increase the number in 1968.
§ Mr. K. RobinsonVoluntary work for individual hospitals is normally arranged direct with them, and the information for which my right hon. Friends asks is not available centrally. My Department has always strongly encouraged voluntary effort in the hospital service and will continue to do so.
