HC Deb 29 October 2002 vol 391 c747W
Mr. Burstow

To ask the Secretary of State for Health if he will make a statement on the future of regional specialist commissioning groups in respect of neuroscience services. [77005]

Mr. Hutton

The future of regional specialised commissioning groups is being considered as part of the consultation on commissioning arrangements for specialised services for which responses are still coming in. I will be considering the responses and expect to reach conclusions on the way forward by the turn of the year.
