HC Deb 03 April 1990 vol 170 c520W
Mr. Vaz

To ask the Secretary of State for Health how many women have died from cervical cancer in each of the past 10 years; if he will give the figures region by region; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Freeman

The information requested is shown in the table:

(3) what steps his Department is taking and will be taking to publicise the information collected under section 11 of the Disabled Persons (Services, Consultation and Representation) Act 1986; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Freeman

Section 11 came into force on 18 December 1989 and the first report was laid before the House on 21 December 1989. The report has been subsequently printed and distributed to health and local authorities. It is hoped that the information in the report, on services for people with a mental illness or mental handicap, will be of assistance to authorities in developing good community care services in line with the Government's policies.
