HC Deb 26 July 1989 vol 157 c731W
Mr. Barry Jones

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales if he proposed to publish in Wales the equivalent to the Department of Health's, "Self Governing Hospitals: a Guide"; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Peter Walker

My officials will be making available copies of the Department of Health's documents "Self-Governing Hospitals: An Initial Guide" and "Self-Governing Hospitals: Briefing for NHS Managers" for the information of relevant NHS interests in Wales.

Mr. Barry Jones

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales when he proposes to publish papers concerning National Health Service reforms as they apply to Wales.

Mr. Grist

Chapter XI of the White Paper, "Working for Patients" (Cm. 555), set out the broad framework for further improving the NHS in Wales. My right hon. Friend and I have been having extensive discussions with a wide range of interests since the publication of the White Paper and we intend shortly to make a statement on the next steps in Wales.
