§ Sir Teddy TaylorTo ask the Secretary of State for Health if he will make a statement on the investigations into the allegations relating to the treatment of terminally-ill children within the Southend Community Services Trust. [128060]
§ Mr. DenhamWe are aware of the police investigation which is clearly a matter of major concern. We understand that the South Essex Mental Health and Community Care NHS Trust is co-operating fully with Essex Police. As the matter is at present under police investigation it would be inappropriate to comment further.
