Mrs. Chalker

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what plans he has to provide the National Health Service with a data bank from the work of the health advisory service.

Dr. Owen

The Director of the Health Advisory Service makes an annual report to my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Social Services and my right hon. and learned Friend the Secretary of State for Wales, which already provides an outlet for information collected by the Health Advisory Service in the course of its activities.

Mr. Patrick Jenkin

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services when he hopes to publish the annual report of the Health Advisory Service for 1975.

Mr. Ennals

I received the report today. It will be published as soon as possible after I and my right hon. and learned Friend the Secretary of State for Wales have completed our consideration of it.
