§ Mr. Iain Macleod£16 2s. 6d.
Major Hicks Beachasked the Minister of Health whether he has considered the contents of pamphlet 94609/208/7, dated 19th December. 1952, issued by his Department to hospitals, concerning the washing-down of walls and paint-work; and, since such detailed instructions should be left to the discretion of local hospital boards, if he will revise this pamphlet.
§ Mr. Iain MacleodThis memorandum asked hospital authorities to observe an agreed recommendation of the two sides of the appropriate Whitley Committee, on which hospital authorities are represented, with regard to the class of labour to be used on washing-down walls and paint-work in certain circumstances.
If my hon. Friend knows of any local difficulty in its application perhaps he will let me have particulars.
