§ Mr. ButlerTo ask the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will procure from North West Thames regional health authority estimates available to them from the strategic plan of the Paddington and North Kensington district health authority of the number of beds needed for AIDS patients in 1992, for publication in theOfficial Report.
§ Mr. NewtonThe district health authority has not yet published figures for beds required in 1992 for AIDS patients. However, I understand that work is well advanced on the production of a further draft strategic plan which has yet to be approved for issue by the health authority. Should my hon. Friend wish to pursue the matter further, he may wish to contact the chairman of the Paddington and North Kensington authority direct.
