HC Deb 27 January 1994 vol 236 c379W
Mr. Wigley

To ask the Secretary of State for Health if she will issue a guidance circular to general practitioners and health authorities classifying the right of medical practitioners to specify visiting costs incurred by parents in visiting their children in hospital as an integral part of the cost of medical treatment, when that is appropriate and necessary; and if she will make a statement.

Mr. Bowis

I have undertaken to keep under review the arrangements for helping parents participate in the treatment of children admitted to hospital.
