HC Deb 06 November 1992 vol 213 cc469-70W
Mr. Llwyd

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales what provision there is in each county of Wales for patients suffering traumatic brain injury.

Mr. Gwilym Jones

This information is not held centrally. Health authorities are responsible for assessing and meeting the local needs of their residents guided by the principles and targets of the protocol for investment in health gain on injuries, issued by the Department in June 1992.

Mr. David Hunt

As the hon. Gentleman will know, a review of the proposed closure of 21 pits is under way and a moratorium has been announced on these proposals whilst the review takes place. My Department is in discussions with the North East Wales training and enterprise council, the Welsh Development Agency and local authorities on measures to promote economic diversification and employment opportunities in the area.
