Mr. Edward M. Taylorasked the Secretary of State for Scotland what plans he has to review the ambulance service in Scotland.
§ Mr. RossThe forthcoming green paper on the administration of the health service will provide an opportunity to consider future arrangements for the ambulance service. As regards operations, I am making a grant to Strathclyde University to support a study to find ways of improving the performance of the service in terms of both economies of operation and service provided. I have at present no other plans for reviewing the service.
