§ Mr. Terry Davisasked the Secretary of State for Social Services what is the estimated cost of the review by outside consultants of the functions and working of the West Midlands regional health authority.
§ Mr. Kenneth ClarkeInformation on the cost of the review is not yet available. A review of the kind envisaged should offer up opportunities for really worthwhile improvements in the management of health services for the benefit of patients. It need not be costly and costs will be met from within the management budget of the regional health authority.
