HC Deb 22 March 2004 vol 419 cc604-11W
Mr. McNamara

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills how many looked-after children had(a) a yearly dental health check and (b) up-to-date child immunisations, broken down by local authority in each year since 1994; and what the figures were for all children. [158069]

Margaret Hodge

Information on the number of looked-after children that had yearly dental health checks and up-to-date immunisations was not collected centrally between 1994 and 1999. Since 2000 these figures for looked after children have been collected at local authority level and reported to government. Details are provided in the following table. Equivalent figures are not collected centrally for the child population as a whole.
