HC Deb 24 February 1949 vol 461 c306W
38. Mr. Gallacher

asked the Minister of Health how many of the members of hospital management committees were selected from the nominations made by trades councils, following on the circularisation of these bodies by Regional Hospital Board; and what percentage of the whole are trades council representatives.

Mr. Bevan

I regret that the information is not readily available. It is wrong to regard members of hospital management committees as representatives, this conception is foreign to the National Health Service.
