HL Deb 13 May 1996 vol 572 c34WA
Lord Dean of Beswick

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether the Cadbury recommendations are being observed and implemented in full by the National Health Supplies Authority.

The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State, Department of Health (Baroness Cumberlege)

The Cadbury recommendations were used as the basis for the National Health Service Codes of Conduct and Accountability issued in April 1994, and a financial framework manual issued in October 1995. The NHS Supplies Authority fully meets the requirements of the codes and other guidance on corporate governance in the NHS.
