§ Mr. Dobsonasked the Secretary of State for Social Services what advice he has issued to regional health authorities and district health authorities on compliance with the recommendations of the Salmon committee on standards of conduct in public life with reference to interests of members, officers employees and consultants of authorities and representations received from others, including Members of Parliament.
§ Mr. Hayhoe[pursuant to his reply, 19 December 1985 c. 319]: The standing orders of health authorities already 506W require members and employees to declare any interest they may have in commercial concerns with whom the authority is, or is likely to, enter into a contractual relationship. I am currently considering the need for revised guidance on the standards of conduct in the National Health Service taking account of the recommendations in the Salmon committee report.
