HC Deb 08 March 2000 vol 345 c765W
Mr. Wilkinson

To ask the Secretary of State for Health (1) where in London and the south-east of England he has decided that specialist cleft lip and palate surgical facilities will be located; [113464]

(2) which specialist cleft lip and palate surgical and treatment units will be closed in London and south-east England during the next five years. [113594]

Mr. Denham

The National Health Service is presently undertaking a review of cleft lip and palate services following the report of the Clinical Standards Advisory Group published in 1998, copies of which are available in the Library. Decisions on the designation of specialist cleft centres in London and south-east regions are expected shortly.
