HC Deb 12 March 1968 vol 760 c253W
Mr. Wilkins

asked the Minister of Health what plans he has to mark, in some suitable way, the 20th anniversary in July, 1968, of the beginning of the National Health Service.

Mr. K. Robinson

I am arranging a conference to be held at Church House, Westminster, on 4th and 5th July. I hope that this will serve not only to mark an important stage in the development of a great service but also, more importantly, to help to shape and fit the service for the tasks that lie ahead. The number who can be invited to take part in such a conference must be limited, but I shall try to secure that they are representative of those who will be closely concerned with these tasks.
