HC Deb 23 June 1967 vol 748 c366W
Mr. Onslow

asked the Minister of Health what has been the total cost of preparation and printing of National Health Service forms E.C.73A, E.C.73B and E.C.73C; and how many of his Department's staff are concerned with the processing of these forms when completed and returned by doctors.

Mr. Snow

The cost of printing 3¼ million each of Forms E.C.73A and E.C.73C and 900,000 forms E.C.73B has been£16,500. The forms are needed for accounting purposes by Executive Councils and for statistical purposes by local health authorities, and they are not processed by my Department.
