§ Mr. LepperTo ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs what proposals she has under the Waste Implementation Programme to identify and promote best practice within the NHS in relation to the promotion and use of disposable nappies. [168777]
§ Mr. MorleyThe use of disposable nappies in the NHS is well established. Government want to ensure that parents who are interested in re-usable nappies are provided with information about that option alongside information on disposables.
The Waste and Resources Action Programme (WRAP) is employing staff to work alongside health professionals in hospitals and trusts as part of its work on waste minimisation and identifying and promoting best practice in relation to re-usable nappies in the NHS.
