HC Deb 19 April 2002 vol 383 cc1229-35W
Sandra Gidley

To ask the Secretary of State for Health what is, by regional health authority,(a) the total number of full-time and (b) part-time midwives and what the (i) modal, (ii) mean and (iii) median age is of midwives for each of the last three years for which figures are available. [48249]

Mr. Hutton

Regional Health Authorities were abolished in 1996. Information on midwives working full time and part time by Health Authority is shown in the table. The information about age is as follows.

Health how many overseas doctors there were working in the UK as a proportion of all doctors practising on NHS patients, broken down by regional health authority in (a) the NHS and (b) agencies in each of the last three years for which figures are available [48034]

Mr. Hutton

Regional health authorities were abolished in 1996 and replaced by regional offices, the data has therefore been broken down by regional office. The Department does not collect data on the number of overseas doctors working in the UK broken down by agencies.

Available information is shown in the tables. One table contains headcount figures, the other table contains percentage figures.
