§ Dr. Summerskillasked the Minister of Health what measure of control he exercises over the policy of voluntary hospitals, in view of the fact that public money is now used to subsidise wages in these institutions?
§ Mr. WillinkI assume that the Question relates to the Exchequer assistance available to hospitals in respect of additional expenditure incurred as a result of their adopting the recommendations of the Nurses Salaries Committee. The only condition attaching to the receipt of grant is that the recommendations of the Committee shall in fact be observed.
