§ Mr. Kenneth ClarkeThe items referred to are used almost exclusively within the hospital service. Information of this type and detail is not available centrally and would be inordinately expensive to collect. We have asked the Supply Council to address itself to the level of stockholding within the NHS as part of its general task of advising on a more cost-effective policy on supplies and distribution.
