To ask the Secretary of State for Health if he will list the national health service trusts that have submitted acceptable business plans to his Department; and if he will show in his answer(a) the date they were received and, (b) the date they were agreed as acceptable.

The business plans are not approved as being acceptable but form the basis of a continuing discussion between the national health service management executive and individual trusts. The business plans are modified and updated during the year to incorporate the results of these discussions and to reflect changing circumstances.

To ask the Secretary of State for Health which documents produced by the applicants for self-governing status for the Guy's and Lewisham trust he(a) commented on in writing and (b) directed any alterations of, prior to 1 April.
