HC Deb 26 March 1979 vol 965 c31W
Ms. Colquhoun

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services (1) if he will hold an inquiry into the extent to which private practice is being carried out at Mansfield orthopaedic hospital, Northampton;

(2) if he will hold an inquiry into the extent of private practice within the Oxford regional health authority and its effect upon the waiting lists for National Health Service patients who cannot afford to pay.

Mr. Moyle

No. I do not know of any information which would suggest that an inquiry is necessary. If my hon. Friend will tell me what concerns her, I shall look into it.
