HC Deb 16 April 1985 vol 77 cc156-7W
Mr. Meadowcroft

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services (1) whether he will set out the rules governing the use of health authority headed notepaper by employees resident at health authority premises when writing to hon. Members;

(2) whether any steps have been taken to protect by copyright or other means, the name of National Health Service hospitals when used on headed notepaper.

Mr. John Patten

We would expect health authorities to ensure that all property of the authority, including writing paper, is used for official purposes only. If the hon. Member has a particular instance in mind, I suggest he takes it up in the first place with the chairman of the appropriate district health authority.
