HC Deb 26 February 1973 vol 851 c306W
Dr. Vaughan

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services whether Mr. Herbert Cruickshank, CBE, has now reported on his study of the building processes in the hospital service.

Sir K. Joseph

Mr. Cruickshank's report has been published by my Department and copies have been sent to hospital boards. Copies are available in the Vote Office. The report commends the improvements that my Department and the boards have made in the building processes and recommends that the industry and design professions should become more involved in their plans for further development by means of conferences, which are being arranged. Other recommendations will be studied by my Department with the boards.
