HC Deb 03 August 1972 vol 842 c200W
Miss Quennell

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services how many Friends of Hospitals are represented on the regional hospital boards of the hospitals they serve.

Mr. Alison

The information is not available. Members of regional hospital boards are appointed not in a representative capacity but for the individual contribution they can make. The National League of Hospital Friends is one of the bodies invited to recommend people for board membership.
