§ Mr. Ronnie CampbellTo ask the Secretary of State for Health how many consultant posts in the Northumberland district health authority there are at present; and what was the figure in each year since 1989.
§ Mr. MaloneThe numbers of consultant posts have up to now been collected either by region or teaching district. This is not a teaching district and therefore no figures are available at district level. The hon. Member may wish to contact the chairman of the Northern and Yorkshire regional health authority, Mr. John Greetham, for details.
