Mr. Maxwell-Hyslop

To ask the Secretary of State for Health whether the existing regional health authorities will comment to him on the expressions of interest in National Health Service trust status submitted by the required date, before any change is made to the form of the regional health authorities in 1990.

Mrs. Virginia Bottomley

Expressions of interest in National Health Service trust status can be made at any time. The Department welcomes comments from regional health authorities and is working closely with regional health authority officers.
