§ 24. Mr. Bob RussellTo ask the Secretary of State for Health if he will increase the number of consultant neurologists. [115173]
§ Mr. DenhamWe review the requirements for consultants in neurology annually. There are around 150 specialists in training and we expect most of these to become available for consultant posts between 2003 and 2004. This will be 90 more than are needed to replace consultants expected to retire.
