§ Mr. Robin CookTo ask the Secretary of State for Health if he will place in the Library on a daily basis applications received by his Department by units for self-governing trust status.
§ Mrs. Virginia BottomleyNo. However, my right hon. and learned Friend the Secretary of State will direct the relevant regional health authority to consult on each application for trust status. The region will seek the views of local Members of Parliament as part of this process. If the hon. Member wishes to see individual applications, he should contact the relevant regions.
