HC Deb 08 June 1982 vol 25 cc59-60W
Mrs. Dunwoody

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services whether he will list the new information systems that are now on trial within the National Health Service.

Mr. Kenneth Clarke

Trials were set up in the autumn 1981 in four health districts to test certain aspects of new systems for providing information about hospital patients and facilities and diagnostic services. Arrangements are now in hand to set up trials of an information system for maternity services. Other trials will be arranged as systems are developed.
