Mr. Hinchliffe

To ask the Secretary of State for Health how many deaths have occurred as a result of meconium aspiration in each of the past 10 years; and what action she will take to reduce the number of deaths resulting from meconium aspiration. [30890]

Mr. Sackville

Figures for stillbirths, neonatal deaths— deaths under 28 days—and postneonatal deaths—deaths between 28 days and under one year—with a cause coded to the international classification of diseases, ICD 9th revision code 770.1, massive aspiration syndrome, will be placed in the Library.
