HC Deb 12 May 1977 vol 931 cc598-9W
Mr. Crouch

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what is the approximate expenditure per patient on new kitchens and kitchen equipment in National Health Service hospitals; and how this compares with current costs for similar services in industry generally and in the hotel and catering industries.

Mr. Deakins

I regret that the information is not available, and could not be obtained without disproportionate expense.
