HC Deb 23 March 1995 vol 257 c351W
Mr. Nicholas Brown

To ask the Secretary of State for Health what was the average percentage bed occupancy rate for each intensive care therapy unit in England during 1994 and for each of the last 10 years. [15360]

Mr. Sackville

This information is not available centrally.

Mr. Nicholas Brown

To ask the Secretary of State for Health how many intensive care units in England have an intensive care consultant available 24 hours a day; and what percentage of all intensive care units that represents. [15359]

Mr. Sackville

Intensive care does not have specialty status and does not, therefore, have its own dedicated consultants. Patients in intensive care are attended by consultants in various specialties.
