Mr. Clifford Williamsasked the Minister of Health what effect the proposed cuts in expenditure will have on the hospital services in Wales.
§ Mr. K. Robinson:My right hon. Friend the Prime Minister in his statement of 16th January (Cmnd. 3515) did not propose any reductions in the level of expenditure on the hospital service, although out-patients will be called upon to pay prescription charges, with such exemptions as may be arranged for the patients of general practitioners.
