HC Deb 28 March 1955 vol 539 c4W
62. Mr. Hurd

asked the Minister of Health if he will make a sample check of admissions to hospitals to show the numbers of patients who are not ordinarily resident in the United Kingdom and in order to find out how many have come here with the purpose of obtaining free hospital treatment.

Miss Hornsby-Smith

My right hon. Friend is not satisfied that the information obtained would be of sufficient value to justify the very considerable work which would be involved.
