§ Mr. Dobsonasked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will consider revoking pay-bed authorisations in those regions where the average daily number of beds occupied by private patients is less than 40 per cent. of the number of authorised pay beds.
§ Mr. Kenneth ClarkeI see no useful purpose that would be served by doing so. No health authority has applied for revocation of a pay-bed authorisation.
