Mr. Allen

To ask the Secretary of State for Health what plans he has to establish a good health channel on television in co-operation with the NHS and cable companies. [738]

There are no plans at present to establish a health channel. However, the development of the NHSnet, a secure national network developed for the NHS, will offer a number of opportunities to discuss new communications techniques for disseminating information.
