§ Lord Balnielasked the Minister of Health whether he will arrange for a study to be made of the organised service of 92W voluntary help by members of the National Hospital Service Reserve in a hospital for the mentally subnormal in Bedfordshire with a view of seeing how usefully such schemes could be applied to hospitals for the mentally subnormal elsewhere in the country.
§ Mr. K. RobinsonThis is the kind of voluntary effort which I greatly welcome and my Department is taking a close interest in the scheme's progress. If, as I hope, its success continues I should expect it to receive publicity in the hospital service and other management committees would thereby be encouraged to consider something similar in their hospitals.
