HC Deb 24 June 2003 vol 407 c725W
Mr. Burstow

To ask the Secretary of State for Health what representations he has received concerning a lack of adequate(a) isolation rooms and (b) negative pressure rooms to deal with infectious patients in hospital.[120078]

Miss Melanie Johnson

We have not received any representations on these specific issues. Chief executives were required to carry out a local risk assessment to determine the appropriate provision for isolation facilities within their trusts in 2000.
