HC Deb 20 November 1990 vol 181 cc91-4W
26. Mr. Stern

To ask the Secretary of State for Health if he will make a statement on the first round of applications for self-governing trust status.

29. Mr. Bradley

To ask the Secretary of State for Health when he expects to announce his decisions on national health service trust applications.

Mrs. Virginia Bottomley

Public consultation has finished on applications for self-governing status. My right hon. Friend will consider the results of the consultation together with the applications and will announce his decision shortly.

Mr. Pike

To ask the Secretary of State for Health if he will list all the letters of interest submitted to the trust unit for consideration for possible trust status applications.

Mrs. Virginia Bottomley

All units which expressed an interest following the issue of EL(89)MB 64, a copy of which is available in the Library, are shown in the table. Not all of these subsequently made a formal application to become a trust in April 1991. Expressions of interest are now being received from units which may wish to become NHS trusts from April 1992. My right hon. Friend hopes to make an announcement soon.
