PROFESSOR DAVID SOUTHALL'S RESEARCH CASE FILES

Early day motion 2678, tabled 9 October 2006 by John Hemming (Liberal Democrat). Signed by 16 members.

That this House notes that Professor David Southall has maintained Special Case files including details of research he has managed on many thousands of babies over a number of years; further notes that it is the view of the Chief Medical Officer that copies of such information should be given to the patients who range throughout England and Wales from Birmingham, through Barnsley to Banbury and Bristol; regrets that the University Hospital of North Staffordshire National Health Service Trust has not as yet done so; and calls for the UHNS Trust to act to rectify this situation.
