Graham-Littleasked the Minister of Health if he is aware that the Sanderson-Wells Prize Fund, Weymouth and District Hospital, was specifically an educational gift to the nurses, and not to the hospital, which had no function other than to ensure that the prizes were properly awarded; and under what authority he has diverted this educational gift to purposes not designed by the donor.
