HC Deb 03 March 1969 vol 779 c8W
Dr. Ernest A. Davies

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he has considered the report entitled, "British Hospitals, Home and Overseas", of the British Hospitals Export Council, a copy of which is in his possession; what action he plans to take; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Ennals

Yes. I am glad to take this opportunity to pay tribute to the achievements of the British Hospitals Export Council. Information supplied by the Council shows that British architects, engineers and building contractors are at present involved with hospital building overseas worth £180 million. In addition, exports of hospital and medical equipment are approaching £20 million per annum.
