HC Deb 05 December 1994 vol 251 cc83-4W
Mr. Gordon Prentice

To ask the Secretary of State for Health if she will list those members of each NHS trust in England who have disclosed private interests.

Mr. Malone

This information is not available centrally.

It may be obtained from individual national health service trusts which are required to keep registers of members' interest and make them available to the public.

Mr. Ainger

To ask the Secretary of State for Health what discussions she has had with district auditors concerning the financial operations of national health service trusts.

Mr. Sackville

The primary relationship of district auditors is with the national health service trusts they audit. Department of Health officials have occasional contact with district auditors on financial issues affecting NHS trusts, mostly via the Audit Commission.
