§ 71. Mr. Hector Hughesasked the Secretary of State for Scotland what additional financial provision and what other facilities he is making to enable patients in Scottish regional hospitals to plan and enjoy Christmas festivities.
§ Mr. J. StuartIt is, I think, appropriate that such items should be provided from endowment funds or by voluntary gifts, and I am most grateful to all who help to make this possible. In the exceptional case where no such resources are available, reasonable expenditure within the normal budget is permitted.
