HC Deb 23 January 1973 vol 849 cc74-5W
44. Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services whether he has received the communication from the Chief Executive Officer and Town Clerk of the London Borough of Newham, dated 15th December, regarding the National Health Service reorganisation area and regional boundaries in London; what was the purport of this letter; and what was the nature of his reply.

Sir K. Joseph

The letter asked that I should receive a deputation to discuss Newham's position after health service reorganisation. The Minister of State, who has special responsibility for National Health Service reorganisation in London, has offered to do this, and he has sent the hon. Member a copy of his reply.
