HC Deb 06 March 1984 vol 55 cc565-6W
Mr. Meacher

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will publish the six studies of hospitals referred to by the Griffiths team in its recent report.

Mr. Kenneth Clarke

We see no reason to do so. The six studies were undertaken in five districts with the encouragement of the Griffiths team. The district health authorities concerned are perfectly free to make the reports available if they see any purpose in doing so.
