§ Dr. HarrisTo ask the Secretary of State for Health for what reasons he has not replied to the letter from the hon. Member for Oxford, West and Abingdon on the administration of the National Blood Transfusion Service; and when he plans to do so. [13773]
§ Mr. MilburnMy noble Friend the Minister of State has written to the hon. Member for Oxford, West and Abingdon today. The hon. Member will appreciate that the considerable interest in all areas of the country which the review of the Liverpool Blood Service has provoked has led to a marked increase in the amount of representations which we have received on this and related issues, all of which require appropriate consideration.
