HC Deb 20 January 2003 vol 398 c129W
Mr. Burstow

To ask the Secretary of State for Health if he will make a statement on the information collected as part of the Health and Social Services Performance Review. [88559]

Mr. Hutton

The Health and Social Services Performance Review is a quarterly document which monitors the progress of programme areas and strategic health authorities towards key indicators in the delivery of the Department's public commitments. The document also reports on patient activity and provides a concise overview of financial performance. At the end of the financial year the Department publishes an annual report which includes details of progress against public service agreement targets.
