HC Deb 02 December 1986 vol 106 c614W
Mr. Gareth Wardell

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will publish in the Official Report the information that his Department holds on the number of consultant community paediatricians employed by health authorities in England.

Mr. Newton

A number of consultant paediatricians have recently been appointed with special interest in community child health, but responsibilities differ widely between appointments. I regret that information on the number of such appointments in England is not collected centrally.
