HC Deb 13 June 1978 vol 951 c383W
64. Mr. William Hamilton

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what further steps he intends to take to discourage the further growth of private fee-paying medical and hospital services.

Mr. Ennals

Legislation provides for the separation of private practice from the National Health Service and the control of certain private hospital developments by the Health Services Board. I intend no further steps but I shall be watching the situation.
