University College London Hospitals

HC Deb 21 January 1994 vol 235 cc881-2W

Mr. Blunkett

To ask the Secretary of State for Health if she will list the further efficiency measures she has suggested to University College London hospitals.

Dr. Mawhinney

We have made clear our commitment to retaining University College London Hospitals as a world-class centre of medical teaching and research. UCLH is already undertaking a major cost improvement programme in 1993–94, and North East Thames regional health authority is discussing with the unit how services can be provided most efficiently in future.
