§ Dr. FoxTo ask the Secretary of State for Health if he will make a statement on responsibility for health in British Overseas Territories. [24439]
§ Mr. BradshawI have been asked to reply.
Health services are the responsibility of all the locally elected Governments in the territories. Some have entered into reciprocal Health Agreements with the United Kingdom for referrals of serious cases where inadequate facilities exist. These are: Gibraltar, Falkland Islands, Anguilla, British Virgin Islands, Turks and Caicos Islands, Montserrat and St. Helena.
