Mr. Kirkwood : To ask the Secretary of State for Health (1) how many of the units expressing interest in self-governing status have complied with paragraph 5.3 of the self-governing hospitals working paper No. 1 ; and if he will take steps to require the remainder to do so ;
(2) if he will list those units contained in his list of medical units expressing interest in becoming self-governing who have consulted staff and patient representatives and have met with their approval ;
(3) when considering applications for self-governing status from ambulance services, whether he intends consulting other emergency services ; and if he will make a statement ;
(4) whether he intends to consult medical staff and patient representatives when making a decision to approve or disapprove applications for self- governing status in light of his commitment to judge whether the changes would be in the interests of the National Health Service, hospitals and patients.
Mr. Mellor [holding answer 12 June 1989] : Expressions of interest are no more than that. We are aware that in many cases informal consultation has taken place but it would be unrealistic to engage in formal consultation at this stage, because people may not have enough information to give an informed opinion. All the main interests--including staff and the local community--will have an opportunity to express their views when detailed proposals have been worked up. We will take all responses into account when deciding whether to approve an application.
Mr. Kirkwood : To ask the Secretary of State for Health if he will list those units that are entire hospitals with 250 beds or over contained in his list of units expressing interest in becoming self-governing.
Mr. Mellor [holding answer 12 June 1989] : The information is not available in the form requested. The table lists those units which include entire hospitals with 250 beds or over :
