HC Deb 03 May 1994 vol 242 cc449-50W
Mr. George Howarth

To ask the Secretary of State for Health (1) if she will list by region the national health service centres for treatments(a) for allergies in general and (b) for allergic reactions to steroid treatments;

(2) what research her Department has commissioned into the links between serious allergic reactions and steroid treatments; and if she will publish the conclusions of the research.

Mr. Sackville

The Department does not use private detective agencies but does use security companies to guard official premises where this provides best value for money.
