HC Deb 23 July 2002 vol 389 c1094W
Mr. Andrew Turner

To ask the Secretary of State for Health if he will list the public consultations undertaken by his Department since June 2001, stating in each case the(a) number of respondents and (b) percentage of those specifically consulted who responded. [60145]

Mr. Lammy

[holding answer 10 June 2002]Since June 2001, the Department has undertaken 87 public consultations. A list of these will be placed in the Library.

The Department does not collect the number of respondents nor the percentage of those specifically consulted who responded either centrally or at all and it would be disproportionately expensive to assemble the information.
