HC Deb 24 February 1989 vol 147 c823W
Mr. Frank Field

To ask the Secretary of State for Health if he will make a statement on the disposal by Arrowe Park hospital of waste due for incineration by dumping in landfill sites.

Mr. Mellor

I understand from the Wirral health authority that it has no knowledge of any clinical waste from Arrowe Park hospital, or clinical waste from elsewhere transported to the Arrowe Park incineration plant for incineration, which has subsequently been dumped on a landfill site. I hope that the hon. Member will pass any evidence that he has to the district health authority.
