HC Deb 18 May 1950 vol 475 cc176-7W
94. Commander Maitland

asked the Minister of Health when he anticipates that the war-time surplus surgical instruments now at his Department's supply depot at Stonebridge Park, will be unpacked, classified and made available for purchase by hospitals; and why there has been delay in the displosal of these instruments, observing the known need of hospitals for them.

Mr. Bevan

This work has not been unduly delayed and should be completed by the end of 1950. Part of the surplus stocks has already been offered to hospitals and further lists will be circulated shortly.
