HC Deb 09 March 1992 vol 205 c387W
Mr. Martyn Jones

To ask the Secretary of State for Health if he will estimate the number of consultants in rehabilitation medicine in post at 31 December 1990, 31 March 1991, 30 June 1991, 30 September 1991 and 31 December 1991, respectively.

Mrs. Virginia Bottomley

Information on the number of hospital medical staff is collected on an annual basis by census as at 30 September each year. The latest information available is for 30 September 1990 and this shows that there were 11 consultants in rehabilitation medicine in England at that date.

Census data for 30 September 1991 will be available later this year, a copy of which will be placed in the Library.
