HC Deb 21 December 1999 vol 341 cc512-3W
Mr. Andrew George

To ask the Secretary of State for Health what plans he has to introduce a national service framework on disablement services. [102345]

Mr. Hutton

We have no plans to introduce a national service framework (NSF) on disablement services. The next two NSFs will be for older people, (2000), and diabetes, (2001). Ministers will consider the service area or care group for the NSF to follow diabetes against the criteria found in the document A First Class Service, which set out in detail how standards would be set, delivered and monitored.
