HC Deb 20 March 1990 vol 169 c563W
126. Mr. Cash

To ask the Secretary of State for Health what progress is being made on the proposals for medical audit.

Mrs. Virginia Bottomley

Good progress is being made towards medical audit with the support of the profession. A total of £31 million has been allocated to the National Health Service and national professional bodies.

Draft health circulars setting the organisational framework required for the successful implementation of medical audit programmes in hospital and general practice have been widely circulated for consultation.
