HC Deb 15 June 1979 vol 968 cc332-3W
Mr. Carter-Jones

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services (1) if he has yet received the report of the inquiry into the paediatric oncology facilities at the Royal Manchester children's hospital; and if he will make a statement;

(2) if he has received the report of the committee of inquiry into paediatric oncology services in the North-West; if he will publish the report; and if he will make a statement.

Dr. Vaughan

I understand that the independent group appointed by my predecessor, with Lady Marre as chairman, expects to complete its report in the next few weeks. I will consider the question of publication when I have received the report.
