HC Deb 10 June 1975 vol 893 cc151-2W
31. Mr. Norman Fowler

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services whether she will make a statement on the progress of her discussions concerning her proposals to phase out private beds in National Health Service hospitals.

Mrs. Castle

I hope that the discussions I announced in the debate on pay beds on 5th May—[Vol. 891, c. 1092–1l03]—will begin soon.
