§ Mr. Gareth WardellTo ask the Secretary of State for Social Services what were the conclusions of the meeting held between the Medical Research Council and the health departments into the long-term consequences of neonatal intensive care.
§ Mrs. CurrieA meeting of experts to discuss appropriate measurements of developmental, social and educational outcome in children who had undergone neonatal intensive care was proposed at the last annual meeting between the health departments and the Medical Research Council. I understand that the Medical Research Council is currently considering the most appropriate way to approach the issue. Progress is to be reviewed at the next annual meeting in March.
