HC Deb 29 July 1983 vol 46 cc625-6W
Mr. Parry

asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland how many units of blood have been supplied to private hospitals by National Health Service hospitals in Northern Ireland since May 1979.

Mr. Chris Patten

The information was included in my reply of 27 July 1983.

Mr. Parry

asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland if a blood group and antibody screen is carried out

Act 1980 to special schools maintained by local education authorities in England and Wales, and would have two main effects:

  1. i. the governing body of every maintained school would have to include elected parent and teacher governors, in accordance with the provisions of Act; and
  2. ii. the LEA would be required to establish a separate governing body for each of its special schools if it had not already done so. If it wished to establish or retain a joint governing body covering more than one special school, it would have to obtain the approval of the Secretary of State.

Subject to the views of those to be consulted we propose to make the order effective from 1 April 1984.
