HC Deb 09 December 1971 vol 827 c372W
Mr. Thomas Cox

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will ensure that the moneys, announced by him on 22nd November to the National Health Service, will include financial help to hospitals requiring special transport facilities to take elderly patients on visits, outings, etc.

Sir K. Joseph

One of the purposes of the extra money is to provide better amenities for long-stay patients. It is for the individual hospital authorities to decide how they should do this.
