§ 25. Mr. John Huntasked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he is yet in a position to indicate the first topic on which the London hospitals advisory group is proposing to formulate advice; and whether he will list the order in which the group will be considering the other topics referred to in his parliamentary answer to the hon. Member for Ravensbourne, Official Report, 2 May, column 721.
§ Mr. Patrick JenkinI refer my hon. Friend to my reply today to my hon. Friend the Member for Ilford, South (Mr. Thorne).
§ 37. Mr. Wheelerasked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will make a statement about the progress of the advisory group on the future of London hospitals.
§ Dr. VaughanThe group met for the first time on 12 May, and will meet again later this week. Three further meetings have been arranged before the summer break so the group will be well into its stride by the summer. It is too early to comment on progress but I regard this as a most promising start.
