HC Deb 26 October 1983 vol 47 cc141-2W
Mr. Henderson

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what implications the report of the National Health Service management inquiry has for Scotland.

Mr. Younger

Though the National Health Service management inquiry, which was set up by my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Social Services, did not cover Scotland, and the inquiry report is not written in terms which are directly applicable in Scotland, I am in general agreement with the principles on which the report is based. I shall consider without delay how these Manpower Services Commission and confirmed as due to occur in the Dundee job centre area during the period requested:

principles can be applied to the management of the Scottish Health Service, consult the various interested parties and make a further statement in early course.
