asked the Secretary of State for Social Services whether he will direct the holding of an inquiry into the complaints made by Mr. and Mrs. T. Jackson, of 43, Staghill Road, Walsall, about which his Department has received correspondence from the hon. Member for Walsall, North, with reference to Walsall General Hospital.

These complaints have been the subject of an inquiry by the Walsall Hospital Management Committee and as I explained in my letter of 11th November to the hon. and learned Member, I do not feel that there is a need for a further inquiry.
