HC Deb 21 March 1989 vol 149 c570W
52. Mr. McCrindle

To ask the Secretary of State for Health what steps he is taking to ensure that the proposals contained in the White Paper "Putting Patients First" are understood by members of the public.

Mr. Kenneth Clarke

My ministerial colleagues and I are taking every opportunity to publicise the review and to ensure that the public fully understands its proposals. We plan to undertake a series of visits and speaking engagements, throughout the country. In addition, a leaflet setting out our main proposals is readily available in post offices, doctors' surgeries, pharmacies and similar outlets.
