HC Deb 09 July 1996 vol 281 cc159-60W
Mr. Morgan

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales when he expects to receive the auditors' report into the affairs of the South and East Wales Ambulance NHS trust. [36200]

Mr. Hague

I expect to receive audited annual accounts by 31 July 1996. This will be followed by a management letter giving details of any particular issues of concern to the auditor. The timing of the issue of the management letter is a matter for the auditor.

Mr. Morgan

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales what consultations he has had with the chairman of the South and East Wales Ambulance NHS trust concerning the calculation of the final outturn on the 1995–96 overspend, and indications arising from internal management accounts for the first quarter of 1996–97; and if he will make a statement. [36201]

Mr. Hague

None. The first quarter runs for 1996–97 are not due with my Department until 19 July 1996.
