HC Deb 08 June 1971 vol 818 c299W
40. Mrs. Doris Fisher

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services whether he will take steps to end the refusal by medical appeal tribunals to inform an appellant or his representative of the findings of an appeal at the time when it is held.

Mr. Dean

No. The procedure at Medical Appeal Tribunal hearings is a matter for the tribunal, subject to the provision laid down by regulations that the tribunal's decision shall be in writing and contain a statement of the reasons for the decision, including findings on all material questions of fact.
