§ Mr. A. BEVANasked the Minister of Health whether any local authorities have restricted their health services since the end of August; and, if so, in what direction have the economies been effected?
Sir H. YOUNGI Shave no complete information as to the action which has been taken by local authorities generally after consideration of the circular on the review of local expenditure, which was issued in September last, but the information at my disposal does not suggest that local authorities have restricted the provision already made under their existing health services.
