HC Deb 01 May 1962 vol 658 cc143-4W
Mr. K. Robinson

asked the Minister of Health if he has now reviewed the experimental schemes involving the engagement of outside contractors to undertake such hospital services as catering and ward cleaning; what consultations he has had on the matter with the appropriate Whitley Councils; whether financial savings have accrued; and when he expects to issue general guidance to hospital authorities.

Mr. Powell

I have not completed my review.
