HC Deb 11 January 1994 vol 235 cc90-1W
Mrs. Fyfe

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will place in the Library a copy of the report of the investigation into the dismissal of Mr. Laurence Peterken as general manager of Greater Glasgow health board when it is published; and if he will list within the report those consulted in the course of the investigation.

Mr. Stewart

My right hon. Friend announced in the House on 8 December that the report would be published in due course.

Mrs. Fyfe

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland what assessment he has made of Mr. W. S. Fyfe's chairmanship of Greater Glasgow health board before the dismissal of Mr. Laurence Peterken; and what action he took.

Mr. Stewart

Mr. Fyfe brought to the chairmanship of Greater Glasgow health board in April 1993 the qualities of leadership he had displayed earlier over 12 years as chairman of Ayrshire and Arran health board. His actions in dismissing Mr. Peterken, however, led the non-executive members of the board to lose confidence in him.
