My Department have recently approved of the recruitment of 15 records staff who will be employed in hospitals on the hospital in-patient inquiry. I understand that the Medico-Social Research Board expect that this extra staff will help to ensure the success of the inquiry. Hospitals have given ready co-operation on specific research projects where this co-operation has been sought.
