§ Dr. O'DONOVANasked the Minister of Health whether the Board of Control for England has under its present consideration the boarding-out of rate-aided patients; and can he say how the practice in England compares with the Scottish practice reported on in the Twentieth Annual Report of the Board of Control for Scotland?
Sir H. YOUNGThis matter is receiving the attention of the Board of Control, particularly in view of schemes which are being put into operation experimentally by certain local authorities. The practice in England cannot, however, be accurately compared with that in Scotland, where the conditions and the statutory provisions are entirely different.
