HC Deb 19 July 1988 vol 137 c585W
Mr. Fearn

To ask the Secretary of State for Social Services what representation he has had over the wording of the directives contained in annex A of HC(88)37 with regard to hospital responsibility for a hospital which is divided between more than one unit; and if he will make a statement.

Mrs. Currie

No representations have been received to date over the wording of the directions issued with circular HC(88)37. Our inquiries prior to the issue of the circular in June confirmed that the proposed procedures were in line with current practice in many health authorities. Regional health authorities have been asked to confirm by 26 August that the procedures, which are required to be in place by 29 July, have been implemented.

Forward to
