HC Deb 17 July 1952 vol 503 c172W
90. Mr. Gough

asked the Minister of Health the nature of the new system of indenting for stores, equipment, &c., which has recently been adopted within the Guildford Group of Hospitals; and what expense this has involved in the purchase of new ledgers.

Mr. Iain Macleod

I am informed that central stores accounting system was recently adopted by the three main hospitals in this Group in the interests of efficient management. This has involved the purchase of new ledger cards, books and cabinets (some of which represent routine replacements) at a total cost of £261.
