HC Deb 17 March 1997 vol 292 c474W
Mr. Simon Hughes

To ask the Secretary of State for Health how many people with disabilities are members of NHS trust boards; and what percentage this is of the total membership. [20131]

Mr. Malone

Information on all trust board members is not available. Of 845 non-executives appointed since monitoring began in July 1996, nine—1.06 per cent.— considered themselves to have a disability. Information about executive trust board members with disabilities is not collected centrally.
