HC Deb 12 March 1997 vol 292 c263W
Mr. Simon Hughes

To ask the Secretary of State for Health how many withdrawals of approval for post have been made by postgraduate deans in each of the last five years. [19379]

Mr. Malone

New posts require both educational and staffing approval. Postgraduate deans' power to withdraw educational approval from existing posts applies only to pre-registration house officer posts. Information on the exercise of this power is not available centrally.
