Mr. Dorrell

The recently leaked internal management document to which the questions refer contained unaudited management information, some of which has been overtaken by events. The proper way of reporting the financial position of the National Health Service and its component parts is in the annual accounts of these bodies for 1991–92, which will be published in due course.
