HC Deb 06 June 1985 vol 80 cc234-5W
Mr. Dobson

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services which Greater London family practitioner committees have computerised their registration functions and which have firm plans to do so within 1985–86.

Mr. Kenneth Clarke

Croydon family practitioner committee has computerised its full registration system. Barking and Havering family practitioner committee has computerised its register of females and will complete the male register within 1985–86. Plans are well advanced and resources are available for the installation of full registration systems in Barnet, Brent and Harrow, Ealing, Hammersmith and Hounslow, Enfield and Haringey and Hillingdon family practitioner committees in this financial year.

We are waiting to hear of further plans for computerisation which should arise out of the recent initiative on cervical cytology.
