Mr. Gapes

To ask the Secretary of State for Health if he will commission an inquiry into the production of duplicate numbers under the NHS unique number project; and if he will make a statement. [33988]

A study has already been carried out to establish the cause of the non-unique numbers, and to assess the best way of preventing their occurrence in future.
