HC Deb 04 April 1985 vol 76 c762W
Mr. Galley

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services how far tenders and contracts for laundry, catering and other ancillary services in the National Health Service are subject to internal audit.

Mr. Kenneth Clarke

All health authorities must have arrangements for internal audit. The extent to which these arrangements are applied to tenders and contracts for these services is decided locally.
