§ The Countess of Marasked Her Majesty's Government:
When they expect the report of the Working Party of the Royal College of Physicians and the Royal College of Psychiatrists on organophosphate sheep dips to be published. [HL947]
§ The Minister of State, Department of Health (Baroness Jay of Paddington)The Working Party on Management of Patients Chronically Exposed to Organophosphate Sheep Dips was set up by the Royal College of Physicians and the Royal College of Psychiatrists and is independent of government. The question of publication of the Working Party's report is therefore a matter for the Royal Colleges. However, the Government understand that the report is likely to be put before the June Council of the Royal College of Physicians, and, if accepted, it will be published soon thereafter.
