HC Deb 06 November 1989 vol 159 c449W
Mr. Cohen

To ask the Secretary of State for Health what consultations are taking place on health authority boundary changes in London; and if he will make a statement.

Mrs. Virginia Bottomley

Consultation is taking place on the proposed transfer of north east Westminster from Bloomsbury health authority (North East Thames regional health authority) to Parkside health authority (North West Thames regional health authority). A consultation document has been issued, a copy of which has been placed in the Library.

A further consultation exercise will take place later this year on a proposal by North East Thames regional health authority to merge the remaining part of Bloomsbury health authority with Islington health authority (also in North East Thames).
