To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will place in the Library a copy of the briefing documents prepared by the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh NHS trust and issued to parties interested in tendering for the design, building and financing of the new Edinburgh royal infirmary and the operation of a range of non-clinical support services.
