HC Deb 25 February 1954 vol 524 c47W
Mr. Hastings

asked the Minister of Health whether he will give directions that a quarterly or monthly report be presented to each regional board and board of governors of a teaching hospital showing the percentage of Section V pay-beds in use by paying and non-paying patients, respectively.

Miss Hornsby-Smith

No. It is for boards themselves to decide how best to discharge their responsibility for ensuring that these beds are fully used.
