§ 39. Dr. D. Johnsonasked the Minister of Health if he has taken note of the conclusions of the Working Party on Pressure-Steam Sterilisers in its report to the Medical Research Council; and what steps he proposes to take with a view to determining who has the final responsibility for efficient sterilisation of instruments and dressings in a National Health Service hospital.
§ Mr. Walker-SmithYes. I shall shortly be sending a memorandum to hospital authorities on this matter, including the advice that one member of the medical staff should be charged with the supervision of sterilisation services in each hospital.
