HC Deb 17 May 1999 vol 331 c268W
Dr. Cable

To ask the Secretary of State for Health if he will list the NHS organisations which the NHS Director of Planning has assessed as failing to prepare properly for millennium computer compliance. [82820]

Mr. Denham

The National Health Service Executive receives regular progress reports from over 500 NHS organisations and publishes all the returns on the Internet (www.imc.exec.nhs.uk/2000). The returns for the period ended 31 March 1999 will be published later this month.

The NHS Executive has announced that, in line with the common approach being adopted by members of the National Infrastructure Forum of Action 2000, it will list organisations and their state of readiness for Year 2000 based on the returns for the period ended 31 May 1999 at the forthcoming meeting on 13 July 1999.
