HC Deb 01 July 1986 vol 100 cc514-5W
Mr. Wigley

asked the Secretary of State for Wales if he has issued any guidelines to Welsh health authorities concerning their language policies; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Mark Robinson

No. Guidance was issued to Welsh health authorities in March 1975 advising them on the action they might take to assist those who wish to use the Welsh language in their relations with the health service. This guidance remains departmental policy.
