32.(1) If the Ministry is satisfied that it is reasonable to do so, it may
authorise accommodation and services at a hospital vested in it to be made
available to such extent as it may determine, in connection with the
treatment, in pursuance of arrangements made by a medical or dental
practitioner serving, whether in an honorary or paid capacity, on the staff of
any such hospital, of private patients of that practitioner otherwise than as
resident patients, being patients who undertake, or in respect of whom an
undertaking is given, to pay, in respect of the provision of any such
accommodation and any such services, such charges as the Ministry may
determine, and the Ministry may recover those charges.

(2) The Ministry may, under paragraph (1), determine different charges for
different accommodation and for different services and in relation to
different circumstances.

(3) Accommodation and services shall not be made available under paragraph (1)
so as to prejudice persons availing themselves of services at the hospital
