HC Deb 08 September 2003 vol 410 cc264-5W
Mr. Dorrell

To ask the Secretary of State for Health how many vacancies there are in Leicestershire for speech and language therapists; and what proportion this represents of the total number of such posts in Leicestershire. [127272]

Dr. Ladyman

Information on vacancies is collected via the National Health Service Workforce Vacancy Survey. The Survey defines a vacancy as one that has lasted for three months or more which employers are actively trying to fill.

From the latest information available there are no three-month vacancies for speech or language therapists in Leicestershire.
