HC Deb 29 July 1988 vol 138 cc783-4W
Mr. Strang

To ask the Secretary of State for Social Services when he intends to publish the circular on emergency planning in the National Health Service in England.

Mrs. Currie

Revised civil defence planning guidance to the National Health Service in England was published as a Health Circular on 18 July 1988. It replaces the existing guidance issued in 1977 and takes account of changes in the Government's planning assumptions and in management and structure within the NHS. A copy is in the Library.
