§ Mr. Cohenasked the Secretary of State for Social Services what is his policy towards the establishment by hospitals of local asthmatic registers and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. WhitneyWe would welcome any arrangement that contributes to the care that consultants can provide for patients suffering from asthma. We understand that some consultants keep registers of patients at risk, but it is up to individual clinicians to decide what local arrangements to adopt.
