HC Deb 14 February 1966 vol 724 c162W
Mr. Pavitt

asked the Minister of Health whether he will alter the present system of computing laundry costs in hospitals so that measurement should be by dry weight instead of the number of articles laundered.

Mr. K. Robinson

Present evidence does not show whether dry weight would be a better unit of measurement. In the revised costing system to be introduced on 1st April both units will be used wherever possible.
