Dr. Reginald Bennett
asked the Minister of Health whether he will consider imposing charges for meals taken at hospitals by members of management committees and regional hospital boards on a similar basis to the charges levied on doctors and other staff.
Mr. Crookshank
No, Sir, but I would expect members taking meals at hospitals either to pay for them or refrain from claiming the normal subsistence allowances.
Mr. Mellish
Is the Minister aware that, as a member of a regional hospital board, whenever I have a meal at a hospital I have to pay for it?
