HC Deb 14 June 1994 vol 244 c461W
Mrs. Fyfe

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland what evaluation of trauma centres is being conducted, and by whom; and if that evaluation will include the future role of accident and emergency departments which will not cater for such tasks as are to be transferred to trauma centres.

Mr. Stewart

The report of a policy review by the Scottish Office Home and Health Department, entitled "Emergency Healthcare in Scotland: Future Structure of Accident and Emergency Services", was published on 11 April 1994. The NHS Management Executive is considering how the recommendations in the report for the future provision of trauma and other accident and emergency services in Scotland should be taken forward.
