§ Mr. Newtonasked the Secretary of State for Social Services if it is his intention to publish the report of the Child Health Computing Committee; and, if so, when.
§ Mr. MoyleThe Child Health Computing Committee advises the National Health Service on the development of a computer-based system to assist health628W authorities in the provision of health services for children. It is currently concluding its initial work dealing with health surveillance of children in their pre-school years. My Department expects to be able to circulate in the spring an outline description of that part of the system to health authorities and other interests for information and planning purposes. Although the document will be prepared primarily for use in the National Health Service, copies will, of course, be made available to other interested persons on request.
