asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what are his intentions or plans regarding the introduction of private capital into the National Health Service through partnership schemes between the National Blood Products Laboratories, Elstree, and privately-owned companies; and what stage they have reached.

I am investigating the possibility of private industry collaborating in the redevelopment of the Blood Products Laboratory, but I have not formulated any plans.
