§ Mr. AltonTo ask the Secretary of State for Health what representations he has received about the now withdrawn draft document concerning future commercialisation of health services at the Royal Liverpool teaching hospital; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. DorrellFour letters have been received about this document. In each case correspondents have been assured that all the management and the clinicians in the trust rejected the unacceptable wording which suggested that future services at the Royal Liverpool university hospital might be commercialised. The document has now been amended.
