HC Deb 01 July 1996 vol 280 cc333-4W
Mr. Cann

To ask the Secretary of State for Health what action he has taken since March to advise authorities mandated to set up inquires under NHS executive guidance HSG(94)27 regarding giving families of victims the opportunity to be present at any homicide inquiry. [34619]

Mr. Bowis

The national health service executive already encourages health authorities to keep families of victims informed of an inquiry's progress and to afford them the opportunity to give evidence.
