HC Deb 02 February 1972 vol 830 c135W
Mr. Nicholas Edwards

asked the Secretary of State for Wales whether he will establish a committee to inquire into the provision of help with travel costs incurred by families of children in hospital, and to eliminate the shortcomings in the present arrangements to which the interim report of the Working Party on Children in Hospital in Wales drew attention.

Mr. Gibson-Watt

No. The Welsh Hospital Board has the interim report of its Working Party in hand, and, as suggested in that report, it has appointed a committee to collate and disseminate to all hospitals relevant information about financial and other help for travelling. The Committee has already met three times.
