HC Deb 19 November 1985 vol 87 c161W
Mr. Hancock

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what were the numbers of doctors, nurses and midwives in Hampshire for each of the years from 1979 to the present.

Mr. Hayhoe

Reliable, consistent data are not available in the form requested for hospital staff. These figures are recorded by health authority areas, whose boundaries are not in this instance wholly contiguous with those of the local authority.

The figures for general medical practitioners are as follows:

Number of Unrestricted Principals in Hampshire Family Practitioner Committee
Number
1979 678
1980 694
1981 726
1982 747
1983 763
1984 786
