HC Deb 24 February 1997 vol 291 cc65-6W
Mr. Gordon Prentice

To ask the Secretary of State for Health how many orthodontists there are in each health authority in England. [14241]

Mr. Malone

There is no strict definition of an orthodontist. Information is available on the number of general dental principals who submitted at least 100 materials and (b) ozone-depleting substances within those buildings the Commissioners occupy; and if he will make a statement. [16316]

Mr. Alison

The Commissioners comply in full with the requirements of COSHH—Control of Substances Hazardous to Health—legislation that is designed to ensure that no hazardous materials or dangerous substances are present in places of work. All new equipment purchased is free from chlorofluorocarbons. The cleaning contractors employed by the Commissioners purchase on a preferential basis materials from those companies manufacturing and packaging products which have no deleterious effect on the atmosphere.
