Mr. Gareth Wardell

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales if he will take steps to encourage all family health services authorities in Wales to introduce a dedicated telephone helpline for the community along the lines of that established in West Glamorgan.

Mr. Gwilym Jones

As part of the patients charter family health services authorities are required to he accessible to those who need their advice. All authorities have published details of a telephone number and an officer who will deal with questions and give advice about family health services. The telephone number need not be a dedicated line but there are officers ready and available to answer inquiries.
