§ Mr. McAllionTo ask the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will place in the Library a copy of the briefing documents prepared by the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh NHS trust and issued to parties interested in tendering for the design, building and financing of the new Edinburgh royal infirmary and the operation of a range of non-clinical support services. [4954]
§ Lord James Douglas-HamiltonAll such documents are in the public domain and are normally available on request from the relevant NHS organisation. Because of the volume of documents issued by the Royal Infirmary, the trust has made these available for viewing to any interested party by arrangement at the trust's offices and has expressed a preference, in the interests of economy, not to produce further copies.
