HC Deb 16 June 1994 vol 244 c655W
Mr. Gareth Wardell

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales if he will make it his policy that any directly managed unit or NHS hospital trust which introduces a new form of surgical intervention should inform all purchasers before such changes are introduced.

Mr. Gwilym Jones

There is a clear expectation that any significant change or development in the pattern of treatment and care should be subject to a dialogue between hospitals and commissioners prior to their introduction.
