Ms Blears

Information on a large number of administrative manuals and internal guidance already exists in the public domain on the Department of Health internet site at www.doh.gov.uk and in particular in thePublications on the internet site (POINT) at www.doh.gov.uk/ publications/pointh.html, and Circulars on the internet site (COIN) at http://www.doh.gov.uk/ publications/coinh.html
