§ Mr. Martyn JonesTo ask the Secretary of State for Wales how many(a) doctors and (b) nurses were employed in NHS hospitals in (i) Clwyd and (ii) Powys in each year since 1990; and if he will make a statement. [14890]
§ Mr. Gwilym JonesThe information is given in the following table. Data for 1990 to 1992 are available only for each former health authority area as a whole while data for later years are shown by individual NHS trusts within the authority boundary. The small number of nursing and midwifery staff employed by North Wales health authority cannot be split into the former Clwyd and Gwynedd authorities. As information for nursing staff working in hospitals is not available separately, total nursing and midwifery staff numbers are given.
