§ Mr. MullinTo ask the Secretary of state for Health for what reasons the NHS supplies list is not available to the public; and if he will make a statement. [3774]
§ Mr. HoramI assume that the hon. Member is referring to the catalogues which list the goods available to national health service bodies through the NHS supplies authority's wholesaling service. Copies of the catalogues are deposited in the Library, where they are freely available. Copies are also distributed to all NHS trusts and special health authorities that make use of the authority's wholesaling service.
