Dr. Vaughan

The detailed programme for my visit to Liverpool on 4 July is not yet finalised. The main purpose of the visit will be to gain an overall view of the current problems of the area health authority. I am very willing to meet representatives of Health Service staff and to be accompanied by the local Members of Parliament.
