Mr. Winnick
To ask the Secretary of State for Health who owns the NHS hospital trusts.
Mrs. Virginia Bottomley
Each NHS trust has vested in it the assets it requires to carry out its functions. These bodies are set up by my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State and are accountable to him as an integral part of the NHS.
