HC Deb 30 May 1946 vol 423 c222W
79. Mr. Hardy

asked the Minister of Health if he is aware of the grave concern at the disabled and Servicemen's hospitals and homes not being included in the National Scheme for Hospitals; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Mr. Key

The hospitals which are subject to the provisions of the National Health Service Bill and will normally be included in the future service are local authority hospitals and all other hospitals which are not provided by some other public authority and are not run for profit. The relationship to the general service of hospitals belonging to other Government Departments will be a matter for later consideration.
