HC Deb 25 April 1989 vol 151 c506W
38. Mr. Kirkwood

To ask the Secretary of State for Health what will be the extent of control over professional and budgetary matters available to speech therapists under the White Paper "Working for Patients" proposals.

Mr. Kenneth Clarke

The White Paper proposals apply to all branches of the professional services delivered by the National Health Service. The question is too vague to permit any precise answer at this stage.
