18. Mr. Alan W. WilliamsTo ask the Secretary of State for Wales what representations he has received from health workers concerning funding of the National Health Service in Wales.
§ Mr. Peter WalkerI have received no direct representations from NHS staff about the overall funding of the NHS in Wales. However, I met representatives of the Welsh board of the Royal College of Nursing on 11 February to discuss its general concerns about the NHS. Arrangements are in hand for a similar meeting with other trade unions representing Health Service staff in Wales.
