Hospital Management Committees (Model Standing Orders)

HC Deb 14 July 1972 vol 840 cc470-1W

Mr. William Price

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services how many hospital management committees are operating the model standing orders approved by Parliament.

Mr. Alison

Model standing orders for hospital management committees have not been approved by Parliament. The model was issued for their guidance, but they are empowered to revoke or vary the orders they themselves make.
