§ Mr. Ashleyasked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will list in the Official Report the names of the medical 320W central sterile supply department services will be disrupted at Good Hope Hospital and a general work-to-rule will operate. There is local agreement to maintain emergency services by staff volunteers and management in the central sterile supply department and other means of maintaining linen supply are being implemented. The action will mean that waiting list admissions will be suspended and only emergency services will operate. Everything possible will be done to mitigate effect on patients.
