HC Deb 22 January 1988 vol 125 c881W
Mr. Gareth Wardell

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales if he will list for each year since 1976, for each neonatal unit in Wales(a) the number of sister posts, (b) the number of staff nurses or staff midwives, (c) the number of support nursing staff, including nursery nurses and nursing auxiliaries and (d) the number of medical staff with specific commitment to neonates.

Mr. Grist

Data on hospital midwifery staff, analysed by district health authority, are available annually in "Health and Personal Social Services Statistics for Wales", copies of which are in the Library of the House. Detailed information on specific areas of work is not yet sufficiently reliable for the Department to give accurate staffing figures for each neonatal unit. Information on medical staff with a specific commitment to neonates is not held centrally.
