§ Mr. LuffTo ask the Secretary of State for Health what estimate he has made of the number of armed forces personnel likely to be treated in hospitals in the West Midlands (South) Strategic Health Authority area in the event of conflict in Iraq; and what assessment he has made of the consequences for the continuing provision of health services to the resident population. [90346]
§ Mr. HuttonNo specific estimate of the possible impact on individual strategic health authorities has been made. The national health service has a responsibility to ensure that any military casualties are appropriately treated and cared for. If the need does arise, the service will meet this obligation in full while continuing to serve the local population.
