Mr. Maginnis

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland if all nursing, medical and auxiliary staff in hospitals, general practices and on-district duties are formally notified when they are dealing with HIV positive patients.

Mr. Hanley

It is the responsibility of health and social services boards to ensure that an assessment is made of the risk of HIV infection to staff from their patients and, with due regard to confidentiality, to inform those who need to know of the potential danger.
