HC Deb 22 April 2002 vol 384 cc108-9W
Tim Loughton

To ask the Secretary of State for Health how many copies of NHS Plan News were returned for recycling by NHS premises. [42308]

Yvette Cooper

[holding answer 11 March 2002]: As part of the distribution management process for NHS Plan News, all NHS organisations and social service departments were asked to suggest the number of copies likely to be required by that organisation.

Only in the case of distribution errors or changes in requirements did the Department arrange for the return of copies. Amendments to the distribution database were immediate. It was not, therefore, necessary to retain information about copies collected or returned.
