HC Deb 04 March 1994 vol 238 c923W
Mr. Austin-Walker

To ask the Secretary of State for Health if she will make a statement on the survey carried out by Professor Brian Jarman for the Government in 1989 on bed numbers in London; if the results of the survey were known to Professor Tomlinson prior to publication of his report; what account she has taken of Professor Jarman's findings in her Department's policies; and if she will call a halt to hospital closures and bed reductions in London.

Dr. Mawhinney

Sir Bernard Tomlinson received evidence directly from Professor Jarman. His work was taken into account in the Government's response to the Tomlinson report.
