§ 19. Mr. ChisholmTo ask the Secretary of State for Scotland what was the public response to the consultation exercise on the proposal that the Western general hospital become a trust.

These responses, totalling 121, were carefully considered by my right hon. Friend before reaching his decisions on the applications.
