§ Mr. Kirkwoodasked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will list in the Official Report progress to date made by Her Majesty's Government towards meeting each of the 38 targets in the "Strategies for Health for All by the Year 2000", as laid down by the World Health Organisation's European office in 1985.
§ Mrs. CurrieAn evaluation of progress towards achieving the targets was carried out in 1985, and copies of the United Kingdom report entitled "UK Evaluation Report of the Strategies for Health for All by the Year 2000" have been placed in the Library. This report showed that the United Kingdom had already achieved a number of targets and was on course to achieving most of the rest by the specified dates. The World Health Organisation has prepared and expects to publish shortly a consolidated report of all the 1985 evaluation reports forwarded by each of the member states in the WHO's European region. In conjunction with other relevant Government Departments we are about to undertake further monitoring of the 489W situation as in 1987 with regard to progress towards achieving the targets in the United Kingdom, in parallel with each of the other member states, for submission to WHO in 1988 and a copy of the United Kingdom report will be placed in the Library when completed.
