Hospitals (Accountancy)

41.

Mr. Gerald Williams
asked the Minister of Health if he will take immediate steps to settle outstanding accounts rendered by chartered accountants for service to hospitals.

Mr. Bevan
Yes, Sir. I regret that there has been some delay in dealing with these claims.

Mr. Williams
The Minister may regret it, but I ask him what he proposes to do about it, because apparently the forms on which application should be made have been out of print since 10th February, and it is impossible to get hold of them. Will he see that at least forms are printed so that payment can be made forthwith?

Mr. Bevan
Certainly, Sir.
