HC Deb 03 March 1958 vol 583 c89W
Sir K. Joseph

asked the Minister of Health to what extent the lessons learnt by the Hospital Organisation and Methods Service in assignments at individual hospitals are circulated in general form to all other relevant hospitals.

Mr. Walker-Smith

The circumstances of individual hospitals vary so widely that only rarely does an assignment at one hospital produce lessons capable of general application. But it is hoped that the eight comparative studies which are in course of completion will produce lessons of value to all hospitals.
