Mr. Redmond

To ask the Secretary of State for Health if he will list by(a) year and (b) regional health authority for the last five years, the number of cases of (i) chromium poisoning and (ii) chromium contamination that have been reported.

These figures have been collected in full only since 1989–90 and are not disaggregated by regional health authority.

In that year there was one hospital admission in England for which the primary cause was described as chromium poisoning.
