§ 19. Mr. Nicholas WintertonTo ask the Secretary of State for Health if she will make a statement on the future structure of the NHS in Cheshire.
§ Mr. MaloneAs my hon. Friend is aware, the Secretary of State recently agreed to establish a new South Cheshire district health authority from 1 April 1995 to replace the Chester and South and East Cheshire DHAs. By changing the boundaries of adjacent DHAs most of Cheshire now falls within the new South Cheshire DHA and North Cheshire DHA. Any further changes to the boundaries of health authorities in Cheshire will be the subject of public consultation if and when the Health Authorities Bill has received Royal Assent.
