§ Mr. WorthingtonTo ask the Secretary of State for Scotland what guidelines or instructions he has given about the statistics or information that a hospital trust must keep.
§ Mr. Stewart[holding answer 20 May 1994]: Guidance was issued on 27 April on the central requirements for work force information. Trusts are also expected to keep the same information and statistics which hospitals and health boards would have kept when the units were directly managed. In addition trusts are required to provide monthly returns to the management executive on their finances and activity.
