Mr. Martyn Jones

To ask the Secretary of State for Health if he will estimate the number of consultants in rehabilitation medicine in post in England in December(a) 1980, (b) 1985, (c) 1990 and (d) July 1991, respectively.

Mrs. Virginia Bottomley

The latest data available show that there were 11 consultants in rehabilitation medicine in post in England at 30 September 1990. No data prior to 1990 are held centrally as staff in this specialty were included in the figures for rheumatology.
