The only body under the aegis of my Department included in the orders of reference of the Joint Committee on State-Sponsored Bodies is the Voluntary Health Insurance Board. The board's total income in the year ended 28 February 1978 was £17,421,782. The board employ 186 persons on a permanent basis.
