§ Mr. K. RobinsonI do not contemplate any steps to reduce the number of amenity beds where there is a demand for them, as they are available on payment only when not required for other patients on medical grounds. On pay beds I would ask my hon. Friend to await the outcome of my review of policy which is nearly complete.
