HC Deb 01 July 1992 vol 210 c631W
Mr. Wigley

To ask the Secretary of State for Health if she will list the numbers of consultant immunologists in each regional health authority, and the special health authorities, at the most recent available date.

Dr. Mawhinney

The Department's September 1990 medical manpower census—the latest date for which figures are available centrally—records one consultant immunologist in each of the East Anglian and South West Thames regional health authorities and two consultant immunologists in the Hammersmith and Queen Charlotte's special health authority. Other immunologists with general medical responsibilities are likely to have been recorded under general medicine rather than immunology.
