Four ad hoc committees were set up by the council during the year in the fields of psychiatry and the neurobiological sciences, therapeutic trials, medical statistics and transport accidents. Final reports from these committees were expected during 1969 and the council would discuss their recommendations in the light of available finances for the new triennium.
