HC Deb 13 June 1972 vol 838 cc240-1W
30. Mrs. Joyce Butler

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will publish a list of hospital management committees which have appointed ethical committees, indicating which ethical committees have lay members.

Mr. Alison

Except for a few cases where no clinical research is undertaken, all hospital management committees have now established ethical committees. About one-fifth include lay members.
