HC Deb 15 October 2002 vol 390 cc813-4W
Mr. Havard

To ask the Secretary of State for Health for what reason there has been a delay in publishing the report on the future of neo-natal services in England; and when it will be published. [73935]

Jacqui Smith

The report on the future of neonatal services in England was delayed so as to allow for the implications of its recommendations to be more fully assessed. It is anticipated that the report will now be published for consultation later this year.
