HC Deb 02 November 1970 vol 805 c274W
Mr. Clinton Davis

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services why information cannot be made available concerning the hospitals in the United Kingdom which provide family planning services, or allow the Family Planning Association so to do, for their out-patients and their in-patients.

Mr. Alison

Hospital authorities are not required to provide my right hon. Friend as a matter of routine with detailed information about all their services. As regards family planning boards were asked last December to review their services and indicate their proposals for developing them, but the replies so far received do not provide the detailed information requested by the hon. Member.

Services in Scotland and Wales are the responsibility of my right hon. Friends.
