§ 44. Mr. Matthew TaylorTo ask the Secretary of State for Health if he will make a further statement on the proposed reorganisation of the National Health Service in Cornwall.
§ Mrs. Virginia BottomleyThere are no proposals to reorganise the National Health Service in Cornwall. Four units have expressed an interest in becoming NHS trusts. Subject to parliamentary approval, applications for formal NHS trust status will be invited later this year and it remains to be seen whether the expressions of interest already received will be taken further.
