§ Mr. ShersbyTo ask the Secretary of State for Health how many independent consultants are retained or used on an ad hoc basis by the Health Education Authority to advise on diet and nutrition, dental health and related matters; and if he will publish a list of all such consultants in theOfficial Report, together with the date of their appointment, the matters on which they advise and the amount of any payment made to them.
