HC Deb 29 June 1979 vol 969 c365W
Mr. Stephen Ross

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services whether he will take steps to ensure that supplies of oil to the Isle of Wight area health authority are reduced in line with Government requirements, namely, by 5 per cent. and not by 20 per cent. as has occurred for the month of June.

Dr. Vaughan

I am informed that supplies of fuel oil delivered by 25 June to the Isle of Wight area health authority represent a cutback of less than 20 per cent., and there is the possibility of further deliveries this week.

Mr. Craigen

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what is the number of consultant rheumatologists in each of the area health authority areas in England.

Dr. Vaughan

I regret the information is not collected centrally on the detailed basis requested.
