Mr. Michael McNair-Wilson
asked the Secretary of State for Social Services when he intends to implement the Hospital Complaints Procedure Act.
Mrs. Currie
We have undertaken extensive consultation on proposed new arrangements for hospital complaints procedures and received a substantial response. We hope to complete our deliberations on the comments received shortly. Arrangements to issue the directions will be made as soon as possible.
