HC Deb 24 October 1966 vol 734 c92W
Mr. Freeson

asked the Minister of Health whether he will take steps to encourage and assist regional hospital boards and hospital management committees to sponsor the establishment of housing associations and trusts to help meet the special needs of chronic disabled in- or out-patients and their families.

Mr. K. Robinson

No. The provision of accommodation for people who do not need hospital care is not a matter for Hospital Boards or Management Committees.
