HC Deb 22 March 1994 vol 240 c154W
19. Mr. Mackinlay

To ask the Secretary of State for Health if she will seek to improve the methods by which hospital trusts consult the public about planned or contemplated closures and reductions in hospitals and their related services.

Dr. Mawhinney

No, because it is district health authorities which are required to consult the relevant community health council not trusts.
