§ Mr. Carter-Jones asked the Secretary of State for Social Services (1) if he will state the number of community and hospital-based midwives per 10,000 population and per 1,000 births in the years 1978, 1979 and 1980 for each area health authority; and if he will make a statement;
§ (2) how many health visitors per 10,000 population there were in each area health authority in the last year for which figures are available; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Geoffrey Finsberg:The latest year for which complete information on midwives and health visitors employed by area health authorities is available is 1979. As the figures are extremely lengthy I am placing copies in the Library.
