§ Mr. Ellis Smithasked the Minister of Health if he will ask for a report and minutes of the recent meetings of the Birmingham Regional Hospital Board at which consideration was given to allegations that £25 had been paid, nominally for consultation, at a private house with a view to procuring admission to a maternity bed at a hospital in Shropshire; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. R. ThompsonMy right hon. and learned Friend received a report from the Board on this matter yesterday, and he is considering urgently what action should be taken.
