HC Deb 03 June 1998 vol 313 cc237-8W
Dr. Harris

To ask the Secretary of State for Health if National Health Service commissioners are required to stipulate health and safety performance standards in their contracts with NHS trusts. [43737]

Mr. Milburn

National Health Service commissioners are not required specifically to stipulate health and safety performance standards in their contracts with NHS trusts. Guidance issued by the NHS Executive (Health Service Guidelines (97)6) commends the inclusion of health and safety performance in the contracting process.
