HC Deb 03 July 1980 vol 987 cc640-1W
Dr. Roger Thomas

asked the Secretary of State for Wales, for each year since 1974, if he will list, by authority, the occasions on which independent accountants have been called in to investigate the accounts of area health authorities in Wales.

Mr. Wyn Roberts

No area health authority in Wales has since 1974 called in accountants to investigate its accounts. All AHA accounts are subject to statutory annual audit which is carried out by the NHS auditor for Wales.
