§ Mr. Heddleasked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he has any plans to review the Department's circular HSC (18) ICC issued in August 1975 relating to waiting times for in-patient admission and management arrangements.
§ Mr. Geoffrey FinsbergNo. I consider that Health Circular HSC (IS) 181, to which my hon. Friend presumably refers, still contains valid guidance but if he feels alterations are required I shall be glad to consider his suggestions.
