HC Deb 17 July 1972 vol 841 c40W
75. Mr. Robert Edwards

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will investigate the circumstances in which Mrs. T. E. Stewart, 33 Jeffrey Avenue, Parkfields, Wolverhampton, aged 52, died whilst awaiting attention from the Contractors' Bureau, 157 Holly Lane, Smethwick; and if he will inquire into the efficiency of this emergency medical service.

Sir K. Joseph

Mr. Stewart has made a formal complaint to the Wolverhampton Executive Council which, I understand, is to be investigated at a hearing by the council's medical service committee. This is in acordance with the appropriate statutory procedure, under which I have an appellate function.
