HC Deb 21 April 1995 vol 258 cc309-10W
Mrs. Beckett

To ask the Secretary of State for Health what rating London has for treatment and research in each of the last five years, relative to comparable centres in other countries. [19703]

Mr. Malone

Ratings of treatment and research are not undertaken annually in London or in other towns and cities elsewhere in the country. The most recent research review in London, 1993, confined itself to the work of the former postgraduate special health authorities. No formal ratings were issued as a result of that exercise but the report referred to the international quality of much of the research undertaken by these SHAs. A copy of the report is in the Library.
