To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what reports were submitted to her Department by Department of Health auditors, by auditors appointed by the Department, by the district auditor or by auditors appointed by the Audit Commission, regarding Wessex regional health authority, in each year since 1984; and, in each case, what was the subject of the report, the date received, and whether it was a public or confidential report.

[pursuant to his reply 30 March 1993, columns 185–88]: I regret that there was an error in my previous reply.The report by the Department of Health statutory auditor entitled "Report in Confidence to the Secretary of State on the audit of the accounts of Wessex regional health authority for the year ended 31 March 1988" was sent to the Department on 2 November 1988, and not in November 1987.
