Mr. Cousins

To ask the Secretary of State for Health if she will publish the conclusions of the research into the distribution of anophthalmia referred to in her answer to the hon. Member for Sheffield, Brightside (Mr. Blunkett) of 20 May 1993,Official Report, column 259.

Dr. Mawhinney

The study commissioned by the Department into the incidence of anophthalmia began on 1 January 1994 and is due to be completed by 30 September 1995. The Department of Health would usually expect the results of research it has commissioned to be published either as a separate scientific report or in a scientific journal.
