Mr. Francis Noel-Baker
asked the Minister of Health what is the value of contracts for tobacco placed by each of the regional hospital boards, respectively; what tobacco products are purchased, and for what purpose.
Mr. K. Robinson
Regional Hospital Boards do not place contracts for tobacco. Hospital authorities have been advised that it is undesirable, in general hospitals, for cigarettes and tobacco to be displayed for sale but some latitude is allowed in psychiatric and geriatric units.
