The question

To ask the Scottish Executive whether it intends to respond to the criticisms of the National Health Service Appeals System made in the Annual Report of the Scottish Committee of the Council on Tribunals.

The answer

Answered by Susan Deacon on 2 May 2000 · 96 days after it was lodged, 82 days after it was due

I am aware of the concerns expressed by the Scottish Committee of the Council on Tribunals in its annual report for 1998-99 about the National Health Service Discipline Committee system for family health service practitioners. As the report acknowledges, an initial consultation exercise on a new system had already been carried out and the matters the committee raises will be addressed when detailed proposals are drawn up.
