Lord Morris of Manchester

asked Her Majesty's Government:

What recent ministerial visits there have been to transplant centres or are planned before the site of the fourth national cardiothoracic transplant centre is announced. [H L1965]

Lord Morris of Manchester

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether health Ministers now know the outcome of the study of the three transplant centres from which the fourth national cardiothoracic transplant centre will be selected; and when they will be announcing the timing of consultation on the study's findings. [HL1966]

Lord Hunt of Kings Heath

Health Ministers do not know the outcome of the study of the three transplant centres.
