§ 71. Mr. K. Robinsonasked the Minister of Health in what way and through what agencies, other than voluntary bodies, seaside holiday home accommodation can be provided for mentally deficient patients from hospitals in regions which have no seaboard.
§ Mr. Walker-SmithArrangements may be made by agreement between regional hospital boards for patients from the area of one board to be treated in hospitals administered by another board or in private institutions with which that other board has contractual arrangements, but direct provision by regional hospital boards with no seaboard is inhibited by the provisions of section 12 of the National Health Service Act, 1946.
