HC Deb 06 July 1995 vol 263 cc345-6W

Mrs. Beckett

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland if he will list the recommendations arising from the investigation by the trust of the circumstances surrounding the Dr. Yin Yin Teoh case which he intends to implement in other hospitals. [32917]

Mr. Moss

The Department of Health and Social Services is presently considering the relevance to other hospitals in Northern Ireland of the recommendations arising from the investigation by the Royal Group of Hospitals HSS trust into the case involving Dr. Yin Yin Teoh. It is likely that these will be made available to other hospitals in the near future.

In addition, 18 units of platelets—less than 0.1 per cent. of the total—and 12 units of fresh frozen plasma—0.2 per cent. of the total—were supplied to the Ulster independent clinic.
