HC Deb 04 December 1985 vol 88 cc270-1W
Mr. Kirkwood

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what evidence he has received as to racial discrimination in the provision of National Health Service facilities since 1981.

Mr. Hayhoe

Officials of my Department are currently making a short series of visits to discuss with health authorities, community health councils and community relations councils the provision of health services for ethnic minorities, and if there is any evidence of conscious or unconscious racial discrimination appropriate remedial action will then be considered.
