HC Deb 11 February 1999 vol 325 cc349-50W
Angela Smith

To ask the Secretary of State for Health if he will list those health authorities that have conducted surveys of the foot healthcare needs of their residents since 1994. [70341]

Mr. Hutton

Information is not available centrally on those health authorities who have conducted foot health care surveys as part of developing a foot care strategy. We are conducting a review of the National Health Service chiropody services and in due course we intend to make recommendations on whether there is scope for improvement in their organisation and delivery.

Angela Smith

To ask the Secretary of State for Health what the expenditure was on community chiropody services by each NHS trust in 1997–98. [70339]

Mr. Hutton

Expenditure figures on community chiropody services for National Health Service trusts in England for 1997–98 have been placed in the Library.
