HC Deb 02 July 1996 vol 280 cc372-3W
Mr. Milburn

To ask the Secretary of State for Health what proportion of children admitted to hospital have been cared for in a children's ward under the supervision of a consultant paediatrician in each quarter since April 1994 in each region. [35332]

Mr. Horam

These data are not available centrally. All children treated in a children's ward are under the supervision of a consultant paediatrician, but some children are treated in a suitable specialist or adult wards and are then under the supervision of an appropriate consultant.
