HC Deb 05 March 1984 vol 55 c446W
Mr. Murphy

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will take steps to ensure that the audits for all health authorities are made available to the public; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Kenneth Clarke

It is important that health authorities deal quickly with audit reports and take action as necessary. We would expect them to consider such reports in open session and make the reports available to the general public unless there were very compelling and exceptional reasons to the contrary.
