The answer

Answered by Andy Kerr on 12 Dec 2006 · 14 days after it was lodged, on time

Further to the answers to questionsS2W-29916 and S2W-29917, both on 27 November 2006, I understand that previous Scottish Executive Health Ministers and officialsmet with Simon Stevens in his capacity as an adviser to the Prime Minister. In early2005, Simon Stevens was present at a meeting I attended with officials and ProfessorDavid Kerr as part of the extensive consultation process which culminated in thepublication of Professor Kerr’s report Building A Health Service Fit for theFuture in May 2005.
I have no plans for future communicationswith either United Healthcare or Simon Stevens.
