Mr. Robin Cook

To ask the Secretary of State for Health if he will list the units which have indicated that they wish to develop their application for National Health Service trust status over a longer time scale.

Mrs. Virginia Bottomley

Formal applications for NHS trust status can be made only when Parliament has approved the necessary legislation. Individual sponsors will then decide whether or not to submit an application for trust status in April 1991 at this stage, it would be premature to identify those units which may or may not wish to develop their application over a longer time scale.
