HC Deb 07 February 1939 vol 343 cc761-2W
Sir A. Wilson

asked the Minister of Health whether he can make any further statement as to the action contemplated on the report of the Royal Commission on Local Government in the Tyneside Area, Cmd. 5402, 1937?

Mr. Elliot

I understand that discussions between the Northumberland County Council and the Newcastle and Tynemouth County Borough Councils-with regard to the co-ordination of hospital services are taking place. I do not think that any action can at present be usefully taken by my Department.
