HC Deb 08 February 1978 vol 943 cc574-5W
Mrs. Renée Short

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what inquiries he has made and what action he has taken following allegations made by Mrs. A. Chester, Chappell Road, Droylsden about the posting of a notice at a hospital in Droylsden in connection with the resuscitation of babies after a certain method of abortion.

Mr. Moyle

My Department took steps to try to investigate the allegation when it was brought to my attention last August in the form of a letter to a local newspaper, but the complainant was unwilling to provide the information required to pursue the inquiries. Nor did the health authority concerned know of any circumstances which would provide any foundation for the allegation.

Forward to
