description 1946-06-25 1946 1940s 9 pages -3- profession but on the assistance and collaboration of everybody connected with the hospital. Hospital Management Committees The Council would welcome further information regarding the appointment of these committees. Was it intended that local residents should be eligible for appointment? Local Executive Councils Was it intended that these committees should deal with the question of staffing of health centres? Tribunals dealing with Disqualification of Practitioners. The General Council suggested that there should be a right of appeal to the Courts against a decision of the Minister. Health Service Employees The T.U.C. would welcome further information regarding superannuation proposals under section 63. Health Visitors The qualification of a health visitor should be specified. They were anxious to know whether the Minister had considered this point. Industrial Health The T.U.C. would never be completely satisfied with the new health service if it did not incorporate industrial health. This was a point on which the B.M.A. were in agreement. Ambulances The Council felt it undesirable that local authorities should delegate their functions to voluntary organisations and asked that this section should be deleted. Medical Appliances Further information regarding the availability of appliances; and in particular of artificial limbs, would be welcomed having regard to the number of enquiries that had been received on this point. Rehabilitation For a long time the Trades Union Congress had been expressing views on rehabilitation. It was not until the war years, however, that rehabilitation had come into the limelight. In the Bill the subject of rehabilitation was not given sufficient importance. MR. ANEURIN BEVAN said that he was very gratified at the support given by the T.U.C. to the Bill which had been extremely valuable and had helped to ease its passage through the House quite considerably. The Government were making good headway and were hoping to get the Bill down to the House of Commons by July 4th for the report stage and third reading and on the Statute Book by the end of the Autumn session. This meant, however, that there was an immense administrative task ahead of them in which they hoped to have the co-operation of the T.U.C. both generally and in the special services in which the different sections of the T.U.C. were particularly interested. 292/847/4/113
