HC Deb 07 February 1994 vol 237 c47W
Ms Walley

To ask the Secretary of State for Health in what circumstances she is able to call in cases of national health service contracts subjected to arbitration for her further consideration.

Mr. Sackville

There is provision within the National Health Service and Community Care Act 1990 section 4(3) for my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State to act to determine cases where a dispute arises within a national health service contract.

Ms Walley

To ask the Secretary of State for Health if she will list those national health service contracts worth over £140,000, where the arbitration procedure has been invoked.

Mr. Sackville

This information is not required centrally to monitor market testing in the national health service and is therefore not collected.
