HC Deb 09 June 1982 vol 25 c130W
Mr. Carter-Jones

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services how many consultant obstetricians are employed in each regional health authority.

Mr. Kenneth Clarke

Obstetrics and gynaecology are classified as a single speciality in the statistics collected by our Department so that the information requested is not available centrally. However, the number and whole-time equivalent of consultants in obstetrics and gynaecology in each region of England and Wales at 30 September 1981 are set out in sheet 38 of table R1 of the "Regional Tables, Hospital Medical Staff—England and Wales," copies of which are available in the Library of the House.
