Mr. Blunkett

To ask the Secretary of State for Health if she will make it her policy that patients and relatives may be shielded from televisions and video advertising displays located in accident and emergency and out-patient departments if that is their wish; and if she will make a statement.

Dr. Mawhinney

Responsibility for managing advertis-ing in hospitals is for local managers who will have regard to the interests of patients and visitors when making arrangements.
