HC Deb 13 January 1977 vol 923 cc587-8W
Mr. Spriggs

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will publish details of bed increases or decreases at each hospital within each NHS regional hospital board, the number of qualified nurses, ancillary staff and all grades of medical and surgical staff and administrative staff during each of the last five years, indicating where there has been an increase or decrease in any of the above groups, and their respective costs.

Mr. Moyle

I regret that the information is not readily available and could not be obtained except at disproportionate cost.
