§ Mrs. WiseTo ask the Secretary of State for Health what plans she has for publication of data from the maternity hospital episode system.
§ Mr. SackvilleSome data relating to key items connected with delivery episodes were published for the year 1989–90 in the evidence given to the House of Commons Health Committee, Session 1991–92. The 1990–91 data are still being examined for quality and completeness, but it is expected that at least the same number of data items will be published as for 1989–90. Until this analysis is complete, it will not be possible to give a firm date for publication.
