HC Deb 26 February 1952 vol 496 c144W
Mr. Peart

asked the Minister of Health if he will give instructions to regional hospital boards that no economies should be made in hospital expenditure on patients' food.

Mr. Crookshank

No, because this is within the discretion of hospital authorities, who may well find it possible to secure some measure of economy without prejudicially affecting patients' diets.
