HC Deb 31 October 1990 vol 178 c526W
Mr. Dalyell

To ask the Secretary of State for Health what preparations are being made within the national health service for dealing with the wounded in the event of the outbreak of hostilities in the Gulf.

Mrs. Virginia Bottomley

Health authority contingency plans already provide for NHS treatment of military casualties in the event of war. Regional general managers in England have been asked to consider what preparatory measures might be needed under their plans.
