HC Deb 10 April 1967 vol 744 c130W
Mr. Haseldine

asked the Minister of Health what discussions are taking place with local authorities regarding the ambulance service; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. K. Robinson

On 1st March I met representatives of the County Councils Association, the Association of Municipal Corporations and the Greater London Council to discuss my proposal to transfer to the hospital service responsibility for the ambulance service. I now await the memoranda they then agreed to send to me setting out their views.
