Dr. Lynne Jones

To ask the Secretary of State for Health if she will order an independent inquiry into the death of Mr. Peter Savage in Doncaster royal infirmary.

Mr. Sackville

As a result of Mr. Savage's death, the trust asked Mr. Philip Gill, a former district coroner in west Yorkshire, to undertake an independent inquiry into the procedures followed by Doncaster royal infirmary for admission, investigation and treatment of confused patients. His report was published in December 1993, copies of which will be placed in the Library.
