HC Deb 21 July 1989 vol 157 c425W
Mr. Robin Cook

To ask the Secretary of State for Health if he will publish the profiles requested by his Department in HC (88)43.

Mr. Freeman

The profiles mentioned in appendix 4 of HC (88)43 are epidemiological overviews of the health status of health authorities' populations. As they are being compiled by health authorities for their own purposes, not for submission to the Department of Health, decisions about publication rest with the health authorities themselves.
