HC Deb 30 January 1996 vol 270 c723W
Ms Harman

To ask the Secretary of State for Health what research he has carried out on the changes in levels of emergency admissions to hospitals in the last two years; and if he will make a statement. [12619]

Mr. Horam

National data are backed by a number of local studies which confirm that the rise is genuine. We are supporting five local projects to identify any lessons which can be learnt and examples of good practice.
