HC Deb 15 February 1999 vol 325 cc524-5W
Dr. Lynne Jones

To ask the Secretary of State for Health if he will publish his Department's collation and assessment of responses to each of the Government's public consultations. [69773]

Ms Jowell

The Department carefully analyses the responses to all consultation exercises it undertakes, and decisions are taken in the light of this assessment. We explain how decisions reflect our assessment of responses, but the decision to publish those assessments is made on a case-by-case basis.
