HC Deb 17 March 1980 vol 981 cc44-5W
Mr. Eggar

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services how many children have been admitted to hospital as a result of glue sniffing incidents over each of the past five years.

Sir George Young

The information requested is not centrally available. Diagnostic information collected centrally on discharges and deaths from NHS hospitals is based on the international classification of diseases. This classification does not enable cases of glue sniffing to be separately identified.
