§ 32. Mr. Swinglerasked the Minister of Health if he is now in a position to approve the plan to install radio-telephone equipment in the ambulances of the Staffordshire health authority.
§ Mr. Iain MacleodI shall consider the revised plan as soon as it is submitted.
§ Mr. SwinglerCannot the Minister do something to speed up this process? Is he aware that this plan has been on the agenda for many months and that the North Staffordshire health committee is fed up with this very long delay? Can he do something to get agreement with the Staffordshire authority?
§ Mr. MacleodI will deal with the plan as soon as it is submitted to me. I understand that it is going before the health committee of the Staffordshire authority, and I hope that there will be no delay in sending it to me.
